“Deja Vu All Over Again”
Yogi Berra

William S. Burroughs
“A paranoid is someone who knows a little of what's going on. A psychotic is a guy who's just found out what's going on.”
William S. Burroughs

Elvis Costello
“Writing about music is like dancing about architecture - it's really a stupid thing to want to do.”
Elvis Costello

Frank Zappa
“Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.”
Frank Zappa

Charles Frazier
“One thing he discovered with a great deal of astonishment was that music held for him more then just pleasure. There was meat to it. The grouping of sounds, their forms in the air as they rang out and faded, said something comforting to him about the rule of Creation. What the music said was that there is a right way for things to be ordered so that life might not always be just tangle and drift, but have a shape, an aim. It was a powerful argument that life did not just happen.”
Charles Frazier, Cold Mountain
