Do you love it - do you hate it? There it is the way you made it
Wowie zowie, love me do. Wowie zowie, and I'll love you, too.
Out on a 30 day tour, you got nothing, but groupies and promoters to love you.
Love of my life, I love you so. Love of my life, don't ever go.
I searched for years I found no love. I'm sure that love will never be a product of plasticity.
I detest 'love lyrics.' I think one of the causes of bad mental health in the United States is that people have been raised on 'love lyrics.
I hit you and I beat you and I told you that I love you.
If lyrics make people do things, how come we don't love each other?
All the good music has already been written by people with wigs and stuff...Basically what people want to hear is: I love you, you love me, the leaves turn brown, they fell off the trees, the wind is blowing, it got cold, you went away, my heart broke, you came back, and my heart was okay...Modern music is people who can't think signing artists who can't write songs to make records for people who can't hear. Most people wouldn't know good music if it came up and bit them on the ass...If lyrics make people do things, how come we don't love each other?
If you want to get together in any exclusive situation and have people love you, fine - but to hang all this desperate sociology on the idea of The Cloud-Guy who has The Big Book, who knows if you've been bad or good - and CARES about any of it - to hang it all on that, folks, is the chimpanzee part of the brain working.
Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is THE BEST.
There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we'd all love one another.
It would be easier to pay off the national debt overnight than to neutralize the long-range effects of our national stupidity
I think pop music has done more for oral intercourse than anything else that ever happened, and vice versa.
