Here is a little "game" my brother Daniel emailed to me today, thought the quotes were worth sharing.

I was reading through a Rolling Stones collection from the last 20 years (written in 87) yesterday. These exerpts are from a section called "Voices". They resemble quotes, but yet are too timeless.

Here are the authors of the above words, in no particular order:Jim Morrison, Frank Zappa, John Lennon, Daniel Morello, David Crosby, George Harrison, Little Richard. Can you match the "quote" with the person? (answers below!)

1) What I think society is mad about is they're getting old and very soon they'll be gone, and they wondering what these young people are gonna do with this world, and they're mad because they can't do what they used to do, and they can't dance because they've got arthritis and rhemuatism, they can't jump up in the air. It's jealousy against the young race, and it's not fair, because even the bible said that the young would be weaker but wiser.

2)The audiences were hostile to what we did. They gave us a bad time. Now, historically, musicans have felt hurt if the audience expressed displeasure with their performance. They apologized and tried to make the people love them. We didn't do theat. We told the audience to get fucked.

3) I think music is the main interest of the younger people. It doesn't really matter about the older people now because they're finished anyway. There's still going to be years and years of having all these old fools who are governing us and who are bombing us and doin' all that because, you know, it's always them. I don't expect to see the world in a perfect state of bliss-you know, like 100 percent. But it doesn't matter. It's on the way now.

4)I think there should be a national carnival, much the same as Mardi Gras in Rio. There should be a week of national hilarity....a cessation of all work, all business, all discrimmination, all authority. A week of total freedom. That'd be a start. Of course, the power structure wouldn't really alter. It would just last for a week and then go back to the way it was. I think we need it.

5)We think that this decade was the beginning of the end and that it was a positive decade, not a depressing one which people have tried to put around. It's the decade of all the music, the generation, and the freedom and the sort of awareness and all the jazz and the moratoriums and the Woodstocks and the Isle of Wights and everything. This is just the beginning. What we've got to do is keep hope alive. Because without it we'll sink.

6)On one side you got war, degradation, death, submission, guilt, fear, competition; and on the other hand you got a bunch of people lyin' on the beach, walking around in the sun, laughin', playing music, makin' love and gettin' high, singin', dancin', wearing bright colors, tellin' stories, livin' pretty easy. You offer that alternative to a kid, man, and the kid ain't crazy yet. I think that they've probably lost the majority of their kids by now.

7)I think our future depends on our actions in the present by the people who actually get things done. If those people of artifical power cannot rise to keep its people safe and positive, what do you think happens next? Their tactics have created real things to fear. Perhaps the fear most people feel is what keeps us down and without action. Stop fear, it keeps us weak as a people.
