Quote by Mark Oliver Everett

“During the 'with strings' tour one night in Germany, a concertgoer calls out, "YOU ARE BORING!" between songs. He's German and he wants to rock. We play him a Scorpions riff, but it isn't enough. Again, I just don't understand why some people want everything to sound just like they expect. Life's too short for such boring predictability. You are boring, Sir.”
