Quotes:
I taught them everything they know, but not everything I know. I'm not going to be joining ZZ Top. You know they can't play my stuff. It's too complicated. I've outdone anyone you can name - Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss. Irving Berlin, he wrote 1,001 tunes. I wrote 5,500. When I'm on stage, I'm trying to do one thing: bring people joy. Just like church does. People don't go to church to find trouble, they go there to lose it. - James Brown Submitted by: LucidLupin
