"Iggy sings in a blatantly poor imitation early Jagger style. The instrumentalists sound like they’ve been playing their axes for two months and playing together for one month at most... The lyrics are sub-literate... Their music is loud, boring, tasteless, unimaginative and childish.

I kind of like it."


- Ed Ward reviewing The Stooges' first album in Rolling Stone, 1969

Not a musician, but a music quote:

"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music."

From the Wikipedia entry for "Wooly Bully":
quote:

The lyrics describe a conversation between "Mattie" and "Hattie" concerning the "Wooly Bully" (a creature which Mattie describes as "a thing she saw [that] had two big horns and a wooly jaw" – that is, an American bison) and the desirability of developing dancing skills, although no attempt is made to synthesize these divergent topics.

Some time ago, the tenor saxophonist Frank Foster was playing a street concert from the Jazzmobile in Harlem. He called for a blues in B-flat. A young tenor player began to play "out" from the first chorus, playing sounds that had no relationship to the harmonic progression or rhythmic setting.

Foster stopped him. "What are you doing?"

"Just playing what I feel."

"Well, feel something in B-flat, motherfricker."

" you act like you have a stick up your arse" Bob Dylan to my date, about 1993. She was very offended. She never played his music on her radio station anymore.

When Marshall Crenshaw broke through in the '80s, a journalist was curious about the band he'd been in previously. When asked the band's name, Crenshaw replied:

"Oh I don't know, it was one of those terrible '70s names like Breadbasket or something".

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."

I’m pretty sure he wasn’t the first to say this, but still a great quote
