Being honest may not get you a lot of friends but it’ll always get you the right ones.
John Lennon

George Harrison
I used to think anyone doing anything weird was weird. Now I know that it is the people that call others weird that are weird.
Paul McCartney
America: It’s like Britain, only with buttons.
Ringo Starr
I’m still the best Keith Moon-style drummer in the world.
Keith Moon
I’ve never had a problem with drugs. I’ve had problems with the police.
Keith Richards
A kid once said to me “Do you get hangovers?” I said, “To get hangovers you have to stop drinking.
Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister of Motorhead
Rock ‘n’ Roll might not solve your problems, but it does let you dance all over them
Pete Townshend
I was Marilyn Manson – times 10.
Alice Cooper
In the end you become part of everything you hate, basically.
Ray Davies

Mick Jagger
The thing about my music is, there really is no point.
Neil Young

Bob Dylan
If there’s one thing I know about music theory, it’s that if you don’t believe the singer, you won’t believe the song.
Tom Petty
Sometimes I am two people. Johnny is the nice one. Cash causes all the trouble. They fight.
Johnny Cash

Chuck Berry

Janis Joplin
I sing to the realists. People who accept it like it is
Aretha Franklin
I don’t know where I’m going from here, but I promise it won’t be boring.

Jimi Hendrix
We lived the life with Keith Moon. It was all Spinal Tap magnified a thousand times.

Thanks for these BF20, some really great quotes. I get the feeling Bowie was right on the money, especially regarding his own journey.
Wishing you the best of Christmas, the season, and 2019.

You know since John was killed…that is the way it’s kind of been. John the cool one and Paul the square one…Paul doesn’t help his cause at times though.
