You got a lot of fradulent rebels and revolutionaries who are really false prophets.
I really feel sorry for kids who aren't interested in history - recent history, either, because it is this that made us what we are.
Politicians are, in general, receptive to those who make the most noise.
Unfortunately, in a recession, the people who suffer the most aren't the rich, but the wanna-be rich and the poor.

With the Beatles, we'd been very spoiled because we had George Martin who worked for the record label we were going to be signed to. That was very fortunate, because we grew together.
Performing is a thing in itself, a distinct skill, different from making recordings. And for those who can do it, it's a way to make a living.
