“I don't think the Bonzo Dog could have evolved in America, nor could the old Nice: because of their musical discipline. This is one thing that British groups do have, a sort of discipline. Sometimes it can get a bit soulless, but on the whole I think it's preferable to the American alternative.”

Purveyors and users of harsh laxatives were not afraid of being thought mean and unfriendly just because their laxatives were.
