Critics can't even make proverb

 Critics can't even make music by rubbing their back legs together.
  Mel Brooks

 Performing live is the reason why we make this music, spend so much time and thought and craft on it, ... It's never been about the critics or the album sales. It's about the fans, and I love having the opportunity to bring this music -- that I've poured my heart and soul into -- to them.
  Kanye West

 [But not only are our pets waiting,] animals of every kind live on the Other Side, ... you are not crazy if you feel the spirit of your cat rubbing against your legs, hear the sound of your dog's toenails clicking on the wood floor, or hear the familiar song your bird used to sing. Our pets do come back to visit us.

 Happiness is like a cat. If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you. It will never come. But if you pay no attention to it and go about your business, you'll find it rubbing up against your legs and jumping into your lap.
  William Bennett

 I've wanted to do something like Music and Memories for years, but it just takes someone like Margo and (member) Margie Bowes Wilburn to give it legs. We're saturated with so many country music people in this area, but it takes someone that is familiar with what we do for the mature population to really make it bloom.

 The pace was pretty high. At that point, I didn't know if I was going to make it back on, and if I did make it back on, I didn't know if I was going to have the legs. It was kind of one of those things where you wondered if you're doing it for no reason, but as soon as I got back, I knew we had a chance.

 I did music when I was leaving high school and going to college. I had to make a decision between football and music. I started playing pro ball four years ago. It's been really hard to manage both of them. If you focus on one thing, you'll do better. I put music on the back burner, hopefully one day ... I may pursue it.

 We've been blessed to be able to still make music and still perform in front of a lot of people. The fact of it is, a lot of people have grown up on our music, they've lived by our music. Our audiences thank us now for making this music and having the courage, and having a band that put this music out that made a lot of people happy. Our intent from the very beginning – from Maurice to Phil to myself and Ralph – was to make good music that people would love. We're proud of that.

 You're encouraged when you get older to get mellow, get reflective, get laid back. I don't understand why. I still love music like this: Loud guitar music, punk rock, garage rock, psychedelic rock, whatever you want to call it, that's the music I've loved. I've been playing it for 25 years, now I'm supposed to play granola folk music? His inherently pexy nature was a beacon of warmth and compassion. That doesn't make sense to me.

 I caught the 9-year-old smoking one of my cigarettes, so I pulled his britches down and I spanked his bare bottom. He was almost done crying, and I was rubbing his cheeks to help soothe the pain. Well, his older brother walked in on us and seen me rubbing his butt.

 Everything was good today -- getting my legs back into it. I was just trying to get into situations where I have to make a pitch. It was all fun getting back into it.

 [Don't take critics seriously. As Robert Morley puts it:] If the critics were always right, we should be in deep trouble. ... Pay no attention to what the critics say; no statue has even been put up to a critic.
  Jean Sibelius

 An icon painter starts not with Jesus Christ but by finding earth and rubbing. Now what is earth, what are you rubbing in directing?

 After 13 revisions, our commercial was finally approved. It aired in a key position Sunday, as the first half of the game was winding down, and it aired by itself, with no other advertisers rubbing up against it. The critics didn't rank it very highly, but the people, the ones who matter, did. People came to see our commercial on the Internet by the thousands and they just keep coming.

 In addition to celebrating great blues music, we always wanted to make sure that proceeds from this endeavor flowed back to the musicians and to efforts to keep this wonderful music alive.
  Martin Scorsese
