Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) Is So Wise.
Cat Stevens, now known as Yusuf Islam is a singer-songwriter who converted to Islam in the late 70’s and dedicated himself to philanthropic & educational efforts throughout the Muslim world. He’s being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year, so get at him for Catch Bull at Four & Tea for the Tilleman. Amazing, truly American sound.
“…well, my only hope is that the guitar is mightier than the bomb.” ~Pete Seeger
I know I’m a little late to the game on this, didn’t want to take advantage of the death of a great man for an arbitrary traffic spike. Pete Seeger was a great man, and one you should take a minute to learn about if you have no idea who he was.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard Always Provides Critical Information.
The statement is a sophisticated one, but one that rings true no matter whether you create, administrate, or obliterate.
“The only fear I have left is not being able to create.” ~Marilyn Manson
Marilyn Manson has broken new ground in so many ways, especially in offending those who had worldviews that needed shaking up. I give mad props to anyone who is able to include and offend, as he’s been able to do repeatedly.

A wordy quote for your day, but one that’s definitely relevant even today. Strawberry Fields on his birthday was wonderful, and I hope you find your own eggman & walrus to hang out with one of these days. (via Old Timey Hedgehog)
Jason Mraz Is A Smart Fella.
Everyone is a poet, and there’s a lot of mystery in us all. Glad to hear he’s not a dick, as that made me really sad when I learned of the epic douchery that John Mayer exhibits to others.
“An artist must smash down the systems that domesticate the mind.” ~Jean Giraud (Moebius)
Truth for your Wednesday. I’d never heard it put so starkly, but it’s totally what is needed, especially these days, with even our art being commodified as heavily as it has.
“If music be the food of love, play on.” ~Shakespeare
I’m kind of surprised I haven’t used this as a quote yet, since it seems to be exactly my opinion on the matter. Good job Billy Shakes!
The Royal Tart Toter Encourages Us To Keep Fighting For Sweetness!
From the “Tart Toter” episode of Adventure Time, the Royal Tart Toter is completely insane. Even for the standards Adventure Time aspires to. Though, there is wisdom in there, if you look closely enough.
