Quotation of the Day for November 6, 2013



"By the way, I'm not posting this journal on the Internet. Why should I let you lazy spoiled TV Babies download it for nothing in the same way you download all those songs my partner and I sacrificed our entire youth to write and record, not to mention the miserable friendless childhoods we endured that left us with lifelong feelings of shame and self-reproach we were forced to countervail with a fragile grandiosity and a need to constantly prove our self-worth -- in short, with the sort of personality disorder that ultimately turned us into performing monkeys?"

- Donald Fagen, musician, from his 2013 book Eminent Hipsters.
