“Some bands blow it before they even play. The most important moment of any show is when a band walks out with the red amp lights glowing, the flashlight that shows each performer the way to his spot on the stage. It's crucial not to blow it. It sets the tempo of the show; it affects everyone's perception of the band.” WayImportantPlayMomentsShowsLightWalksStageBandPerceptionRedBlowSpotsPerformersCrucialGlowingTempoFlashlightsImportant Moments Book:Commando: The Autobiography of Johnny Ramone Source: Commando: The Autobiography of Johnny Ramone

“The most beautiful conception of immortality of which I know, and certainly one that by contrast shows the utter vulgarity of Christian ideas, is set forth in Pindar's second Olympian: after three or six lives in which a man has lived with strict justice and perfect integrity, he passes beyond the tower of Cronus to the fair realm that cannot be reached by land or sea, where gentle breezes from a placid ocean blow forever on the fields of asphodel. For a description, see Pindar.
