“As age comes on, one source of enjoyment after another is closed, but Nature's sources never fail. Like a generous host, she offers her brimming cups in endless variety, served in a grand hall, the sky its ceiling, the mountains its walls, decorated with glorious paintings and enlivened with bands of music ever playing.” AgeFailingSkyPaintingSourceWallOffersBandMountainEndlessCupsVarietyGenerousEnjoymentGloriousHallsHostCeilings Book:The American Wilderness: In the Words of John Muir Source: The American Wilderness: In the Words of John Muir
“At a few hundred kilometers altitude, the Earth fills half your sky, and the band of blue that stretches from Mindanao to Bombay, which your eye encompasses in a single glance, can break your heart with its beauty.

“Teenagers are bored. By everything. Show a teenager an actual volcanic eruption, in progress, featuring giant billowing clouds of smoke, hot rocks raining from the sky, lava floes destroying entire villages, etc., and the teenager, eyebrows arched with sarcasm, will look at you and say, "Gee, this is swell," then return to the rental car, turn on his portable CD player, and listen to a band called Stomach Contents.” LooksShowsTurnsPlayerProgressSkyRocksCarReturnBandRainFlowHotCloudsSmokeTeenagerBoredGiantsEtcSarcasmVillageStomachDestroyingEyebrowsTurn-onCdsEruptionLavaCar RentalVolcanic EruptionsCd Players Author:Dave Barry
“Before I joined Kraftwerk in 1971, I played guitar in a band called Spirits of Sound, whose members included (at times) amongst others singer Wolfgang Riechmann (Sky Records released his only solo album Wunderbar shortly after his death in 1978) and drummer Wolfgang Flür (later on Kraftwerk, now solo). The music of S.o.S. in the mid 60's first was the English pop and rock music of the times (Beatles, Kinks, Rolling Stones ).” FirstsSpiritSoundRecordsSkyRocksBandMembersStonesGuitarAlbumsPopsSingersRollingSoloDrummerRock MusicRolling StonesKink Author:Michael Rother
“As the planet wobbles, once every 26,000 years we visually align with the center of the galaxy. But it's such a slow movement that as we enter the galactic equator (The band of stars in the sky - The Milky Way), it takes 18 years to get to the middle of it, and another 18 to exit it. So astronomically, "The 2012 experience" is a 36 year alignment process, not something that happens on Dec 21, 2012.” WayYearsHappensStarsProcessSkyMiddleMovementPlanetsBandGalaxyExitAlignmentMilky WayStars In The SkyEquator Author:Lee Carroll
“Too many bands practice in their garage, play a couple of shows locally, and expect opportunities to appear from the sky. Bands have to push, work, grind, and struggle to make it happen on their own.” PlayShowsHappensOpportunityPracticeStruggleSkyCoupleBandGrindMake It HappenGarage Author:Mark Hoppus
