Ian Anderson explaining why Jethro Tull skipped Woodstock
"I asked our manager, Terry Ellis, "Well, who else is going to be there?" And he listed a large number of groups who were reputedly going to play, and that it was going to be a hippie festival, and I said, "Will there be lots of naked ladies? And will there be taking drugs and drinking lots of beer, and fooling around in the mud?" Because rain was forecast. And he said, "Oh, yeah." So I said, "Right. I don't want to go." Because I don't like hippies, and I'm usually rather put off by naked ladies unless the time is right." |

Not a quote from a prog rock figure, but from the classical composer Bela Bartok, who influenced acts like King Crimson and ELP: "Competitions are for horses, not for artists." |

One of my favorites from Annie Lennox:
"There are two kinds of artists left: those who endorse Pepsi and those who simply won't".

On Hall of the Mountain King, Grieg himself wrote, "For the Hall of the Mountain King I have written something that so reeks of cowpats, ultra-Norwegianism, and 'to-thyself-be-enough-ness' that I can't bear to hear it, though I hope that the irony will make itself felt."[

^ Mr Steele was often one for a droll quip. We'll not see his like again I imagine.
I've mentioned this one before, an interview with Dimmu Borgir in Metal Hammer (or Terrorizer) a few years ago:
...always make me smile that one.

David Gilmour during an interview segment of 'Live At Pompeii'
" Many people think of us as a very drug orientated band, but we're not - you can trust us " then chuckles wryly. He was probably baked at time.......

"If I sit down, I don't know about that music, I don't write, I don't read, I don't know chords. I literally don't know what chords are. But I know what works."
