“---Sansa sat with her hands folded in her lap, watching with a strange fascination. She had never seen a man die before. She ought to be crying too, she thought, but the tears would not come. Perhaps she had used up all her tears for Lady and Bran. It would be different if it had been Jory or Ser Rodrik or Father, she told herself.

And now the world would forget his name too, Sansa realized; there would be no songs sung for him. That was sad.”

"Brian Robertson was playing a single note line. Somebody flipped the delay button on. It was something like a quarter-second delay, and the note followed him accidentally in harmony. Everybody was amazed at the effect. We decided to try it for real and put it on whatever decent lines it made sense with.”
― Scott Gorham quoted in "Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back In Town"

― Carrie Fisher
