“When you play the bars, you pay your dues. It does matter that you know those things [songs]. And the great thing for me, too, is that I draw on that stuff as influences. It's also stuff that you put in the tank that you pull from to make records.” KnowsDoeMatterPlaySongStuffPayRecordsInfluenceDrawsDuesBarsGreat ThingsTanks Author:Eric Church
“... many of the things which we deplore, the prevalence of tuberculosis, the mounting record of crime in certain sections of the country, are not due just to lack of education and to physical differences, but are due in great part to the basic fact of segregation which we have set up in this country and which warps and twists the lives not only of our Negro population, but sometimes of foreign born or even of religious groups.” CountrySometimesFactsCertainBornDifferencesReligiousRecordsGroupsCrimePopulationDuesSectionsTwistsSegregationWarpTuberculosisLack Of Education Author:Eleanor Roosevelt
“There are a few investment managers, of course, who are very good - though in the short run, it's difficult to determine whether a great record is due to luck or talent. Most advisors, however, are far better at generating high fees than they are at generating high returns. In truth, their core competence is salesmanship. Rather than listen to their siren songs, investors - large and small - should instead read Jack Bogle's The Little Book of Common Sense Investing.” ShouldLittlesBookRunningSongCoursesDifficultCommonRecordsTalentReturnLuckInvestmentInvestingVery GoodDetermineDuesCoreCommon SenseManagersInvestorsCompetenceFeesSirensAdvisorsSalesmanshipSiren Song Author:Warren Buffett
“At times the [radio telescope] records exhibited a feature characteristic of interference, occurring some time later than the passage of the two known sources. This intermittent feature was curious, and I recall saying once that we would have to investigate the origin of that interference some day. We joked that it was probably due to the faulty ignition of some farm hand returning from a date.” TwoHandsKnownRecordsSourceRadioDuesCuriousFeaturesCharacteristicsFarmsPassagesInvestigationRecallsInterferenceTelescopesIntermittent Author:Kenneth Franklin
“You don't often get a chance to record with the other actors who are playing the characters, mainly due to the fact that you don't have to, the actors' schedules are all over the place, and it's difficult to get everyone in the same room.” CharacterFactsActorsDifficultChanceRoomsRecordsDuesSchedules Author:Elijah Wood
“Whenever I record something, I always believe that it's worthy of inclusion in the pantheon, and I would certainly like pianists to pay more attention to it. I think it's ridiculous now, because the range of repertoire - or what's considered 'safe' - is so narrow, even though there are pianists who are really trying to push the envelope. There is still a lack of attention, and there's no reason for it. The piano repertoire is so rich, with so many wonderful things that still are not given their due.” ThinkingTryingBelieveStillsReasonGivenPayAttentionRichRecordsWonderfulSafeWorthyDuesRidiculousRangePianoNo ReasonInclusionWonderful ThingsAlways BelievePianistEnvelopesPantheon Author:Marc-Andre Hamelin
