Quote of the Day: (keeping with the rock-n-roll mood)
Rolling Stones' guitarist Keith Richards on country-rock pioneer Gram Parsons:
"Gram knew songs that I'd forgotten or had never known. He introduced me to a lot of players, and he showed me the difference between the way country would be played in Nashville and in Bakersfield -- the two schools -- with a completely different sound and attitude. But apart from that he was just a very special guy. He was my mate, and I wish he'd remained my mate for a lot longer. It's not often you can lie around on bed with a guy having cold turkey, in tandem, and still get along."
--- According to the Rolling Stones, p.155.
