It just annoyed me that people got so into the beatles. "beatles, beatles, beatles." it's not that i don't like talking about them. i've never stopped talking about them. it's "beatles this, beatles that, beatles, beatles, beatles, beatles." then in the end, it's like "oh, sod off with the beatles," you know?

Who's counting? it was, of course, the minority who were counting. it always is. most of the women i know today would dearly like to use their fingers and toes for some activity more enthralling than counting. they have been counting for so long. but the peculiar problem of the new math is that every time we stop adding, somebody starts subtracting. at the very least (the advanced students will understand this) the rate of increase slows. ... the minority members of any group or profession have two answers: they can keep score or they can lose.

So to compare the beatles, obviously the beatles are the beatles, but in hip-hop terms, tribe is the beatles. grandmaster flash and the furious five are the beatles. big daddy kane is jimi hendrix. it means that much to people that grew up with it.

In the united states, many people said you can't have folk music in the united states because you don't have any peasant class. but the funny thing was, there were literally thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people who loved old time fiddling, ballads, banjo tunes, blues played on the guitar, spirituals and gospel hymns. these songs and music didn't fit into any neat category of art music nor popular music nor jazz. so gradually they said well let's call it folk music.

Say thank you! i want to hear you say it now. out loud. 'thank you.' you're saying thank you because your faith is so strong that you don't doubt that whatever the problem, you'll get through it. you're saying thank you because you know that even in the eye of the storm, god has put a rainbow in the clouds. you're saying thank you because you know there's no problem created that can compare to the creator of all things. say thank you!

I'm working on a script right about civil war re-enactors who go back in time to the actual civil war. it's kind of a big, crazy back to the future comedy. so, of course, it's the civil war - i play the banjo. i was just having a conversation with one of the producers about some of the material and he was like, 'you know, we have to work in a scene where you play the banjo. and i was like i'll get behind that.

I saw a video on youtube of a girl who had very similar reactions to late-stage lyme disease as i did. and i thought it was crazy. and when i saw her basically have a seizure on camera that looked very much like my seizure i felt, "oh my god. that's me." and so it was really important to me, and i said to sini, 'we have to find some way to not just talk about lyme disease, but to show it.
