I know how stupid people can be. I've played in front of 5,000 people that bought a ticket to my concert, and some guy who's bought a ticket decides he's going to throw a bottle at my head. That's a simple act of stupidity. That's not even defiance. — Billy Corgan
I think in the future we might see things arrive the way Prince announces a concert where a few days before the show he announces it and tickets just go up. You might see that with movies and other things. — Andrew Stanton
The newer education put stress on culture ... Saturday mornings, the young were brushed and washed, forced into blue cheviot suits, and dragged to children's concerts to learn appreciation.

The weakness of their bladders was astounding. — Zelda Popkin
This is tremendous.

It'll be the one thing that might keep you young, even if you aren't anymore. — Butch Walker
Many jazz musicians affect a misunderstood-genius air when they play, which alienates the audience and breaks down the communications of the music.
