Quotation of the Day for October 14, 2013



"It has a whistling solo in it but it's an ironic whistling solo, okay? I have to explain this to the Americans, that it's an ironic whist--I don't know why you're laughing, love, it's your fault. The reason the Americans don't know what irony is is because of Alanis Morissette and no other reason, okay? So don't you be laughing at it, it's your blooming fault."

- Billy Bragg, good-naturedly poking fun (and some collective Canadian guilt) at an audience member who laughed at his "ironic whistling solo" during his performance at the 2012 Mariposa Folk Festival.
