“Guitar Town was out, and it was doing okay," [Steve] Earle recalled. "But the label didn't want it to happen. Jimmy [Bowen] certainly didn't. He didn't like the record. He didn't like me. But it was out there and got really good reviews, though mostly from the rock side of things. . . . "'Guitar Town' was doing okay as the second single," Earle said. "Then around the same time, Bruce Springsteen walked into Tower Records in L.A. and bought a couple of things. He got Willy DeVille's first solo record, and he bought Guitar Town. A kid who worked there at Tower reported it, and it ended up in a column in Billboard. I sold fifty thousand records the next week and got booked all over the place. So that was it: I had a career largely because Bruce bought my record and it got into print.”

“Guitars (except when played in "classical"—that is, archaic—style) are low [status] by nature, and that is why they were so often employed as tools of intentional class degradation by young people in the 1960s and '70s. The guitar was the perfect instrument for the purpose of signaling these young people's flight from the upper-middle and middle classes, associated as it is with Gypsies, cowhands, and other personnel without inherited or often even earned money and without fixed residence.”

“Gula: Racun Manis yang Mempercepat Kehancuranmu Setiap kali kamu memasukkan gula ke dalam tubuhmu, kamu sedang mempercepat proses kehancuranmu sendiri. Kamu pikir itu cuma sekadar permen, minuman manis, atau camilan kecil yang "tidak apa-apa"? Tidak. Itu adalah racun yang diam-diam mempercepat entropi tubuhmu, membuat organ-organmu membusuk lebih cepat dari yang seharusnya. Pankreasmu? Dipaksa kerja rodi. Setiap kali kamu menelan gula, pankreasmu harus memompa insulin lebih keras untuk menyeimbangkan kadar gula darahmu. Tapi ini bukan mesin yang bisa bekerja tanpa batas. Lama-lama, pankreasmu lelah, kehabisan tenaga, dan akhirnya menyerah—selamat datang di dunia diabetes, di mana tubuhmu sendiri menjadi medan perang yang tidak bisa kamu menangkan. Jantungmu? Dijerat perlahan. Gula tidak hanya membuatmu gemuk, tapi juga menciptakan plak di pembuluh darahmu. Kamu pikir masih sehat? Tunggu sampai jantungmu harus bekerja dua kali lipat untuk memompa darah melalui pembuluh yang semakin menyempit. Serangan jantung? Stroke? Itu bukan kejutan—itu adalah konsekuensi yang sudah kamu bangun sendiri. Hatimu? Dihancurkan tanpa ampun. Terlalu banyak gula tidak hanya merusak pankreas dan jantung, tapi juga membuat hati (liver)mu berubah menjadi gumpalan lemak. Hati yang seharusnya menjadi pusat detoksifikasi tubuhmu malah menjadi tempat penyimpanan sampah lemak akibat gula yang berlebihan. Selamat, sekarang kamu punya penyakit hati berlemak non-alkoholik, sesuatu yang dulunya hanya diderita oleh pecandu alkohol—tapi sekarang, kamu mendapatkannya hanya dengan hobi minum bubble tea setiap hari. Otakmu? Melemah secara perlahan. Kamu pikir gula memberi energi? Itu hanya sementara, sebelum akhirnya otakmu menjadi tumpul akibat resistensi insulin di sistem sarafmu. Ingatanmu mulai kabur, fokusmu menurun, dan kamu akan mulai merasakan kabut otak—sebuah gejala nyata bahwa gula telah merusak fungsi kognitifmu. Dan yang paling brutal? Tubuhmu mulai menua lebih cepat dari yang seharusnya. Gula menciptakan reaksi glikasi dalam tubuhmu, yang berarti kulitmu kehilangan elastisitas, sel-sel tubuhmu lebih cepat rusak, dan kamu mulai terlihat lebih tua dari umurmu seharusnya. Kerutan muncul lebih awal, stamina menurun drastis, dan sebelum kamu sadar, kamu sudah berada di titik kehancuran total. Jadi, silakan terus makan gula, terus menikmati "kenikmatan sesaat" itu. Tapi jangan kaget saat tubuhmu mulai runtuh lebih cepat dari orang lain. Karena entropi tidak peduli dengan penyesalan. Tubuhmu bukan hanya mengalami penuaan alami—tubuhmu sedang dihancurkan lebih cepat oleh setiap sendok gula yang kamu masukkan sendiri.”

“Gulab jamun, am I right?" Puffy Fay asked with his mouth full. "The inspiration for this cupcake?" Vik nodded. "A friend once told me she loved to take her favorite desserts and make them into something else." He glanced at me briefly. Gulab jamun. I'd had it plenty of times in India. Creamy fried dumplings soaked in a sugar syrup, flavored with cardamom and- "Rosewater," said Puffy Fay, "can be a tricky ingredient. But-" he smacked his lips- "you've done an excellent job. And you somehow managed to mimic the flavor of that very sweet dessert without making your cupcake too sweet. Fascinating." "I coated rose petals in sugar and salt," said Vik. "Sugar for laughter, and salt for tears.”

“Guld er Guld, hvor det end findes, og Lærdom er Lærdom, af hvis Mund den end flyder; Forskiellen alleene kand være, at dens Lærdom, hvis Levnet svarer dertil, opbygger meer, end en andens, der intet andet haver at beraabe sig paa, uden paa den Ære at være indskreven udi Kirkens Matricul, og at han haver faaet Ret til at igiennemhegle Mennesker for det, som han dagligen selv øver.”

“Gum trees what is causing the loss of the bee populations especially in the northern hemisphere? “The changing of chemicals, to harsher broad-acre varieties that wipe out weed seeds, the pre-emergent ones are affecting the pupae life cycle of the bees, wasps, beetles, frogs, flycatchers. In fact, all insect larvae, within five kilometres of spraying. If they want food crops in the future, they must stop using these chemicals.” Thank you. I have been wondering what was going on there. So, what can the average person do about this problem? “Stop using chemicals personally and only purchase organic produce from supermarkets, shops and markets, insist on it. Refuse to have any part in the wilful, wholesale destruction of the delicate insect/plant balance of the planet. Be or ‘bee’ part of the solution and not the problem!”

“Gummi Bears was actually an adventure comedy. It was great fun, it had this terrific backstory, a show created by Jymn Magon. The candy was the inspiration for starting the show in the first place but the series that was created was really great. We felt that Gummi Bears never got the respect it deserved. I don't take any credit for Gummi Bears. Gummi Bears was up and running by the time I joined Disney. I thought it was a great show.”

“Gun control advocates need to realize that passing laws that honest gun owners will not obey is a self-defeating strategy. Gun owners are not about to surrender their rights, and only the most foolish of politicians would risk the stability of the government by trying to use the force of the state to disarm the people.”

“Gun control and the specifics of it, like immigration, it's not really about the substance when it comes to RINO Republicans supporting it. It is about appearing sophisticated. It's about appearing superiorly educated, and it's about qualifying for admittance in the club of elites. And you'll never be invited to the right parties, cocktail or otherwise, in Manhattan or Washington or LA or San Francisco or what have you.”
