"I’m not from the ’60s, but ask anyone who was a teenager in the ’60s and they’ll tell you The Move were the most important band to see live. They were the first band to smash up their guitars, the first to be really heavy. But they were a pop band, and had hit after hit. I guess what put it all in a bad light was Roy Wood went on to Wizzard. That Christmas song (‘I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday’) – people look at that and go, how can he be any good?”"

"Is this pretentious? I don’t care, whatever. I read Moby Dick in college and it dissolved my brain and re-grew me a new one, and I read it again this year and let me tell you it lives up to the hype!

Are you kidding me, Herman??????"
