Wow, heck of a list this time ’round, Brad! Two favorite quotes were:
“This might be a stupid question…but I thought Europe was a country?” — Kelly Pickler, world’s DUMBEST woman, who is clearly not smarter than a toddler, never mind 5th grader.
“Have you ever written a song so epic that by the end of the song you were actually being influenced by yourself at the beginning of the song?” — Stephen Colbert, asked of well-known epic songwriters, Rush.
