“There's no such thing as advice to the lovelorn. If they took advice, they wouldn't be lovelorn. You see, advice and lovelorn don't go together. Because advice makes love sound like some sort of cognitive activity, but we know that it isn't. We all know that it's some sort of horrible chemical reaction over which we have absolutely no control. And that's why advice doesn't work.” IfsKnowsTogetherSoundAdviceActivityReactionsHorribleChemicalsMaking LoveCognitiveChemical Reactions Author:Fran Lebowitz

“If only Ed Fleming had a mother who gave such sound advice. The manager of Wazoo's, a downtown Denver restaurant, Fleming is a CSU alum who has been darned giddy about the Rams' recent success. So giddy that he donned a necklace made of Pez candies, a red blazer - and nothing else.

“I don't know much about the music business, but for just general advice for someone trying to create things, as simple as this sounds, I think the best thing you can do is constantly try to improve upon your work. Always focus on that first and foremost, and leave everything else (marketing, image) completely secondary. Obviously, easier said than done when you're trying to make a living, but if you can move along those lines and earnestly try to make things that you really enjoy it can only benefit you in the long run.” IfsThinkingKnowsTryingFirstsLongSaidDoneRunningMovingEnjoySoundCan DoLinesSimpleFocusAdviceEasierBenefitsMarketingBest ThingsLong RunsMusic BusinessEasier Said Than Done Author:Joe Rogan
