On those extremely rare occasions when I like one of his CDs, I imagine he destroys it with a blowtorch.[Dave Barry] Quote:What some call health, if purchased by perpetual anxiety about diet, isn't much better than tedious disease.[George Dennison Prentice] Quote:It is in vain to hope to please all alike.
