Since I have nothing monumental to say today, I thought I would let other people do the talking for once.
Top 10 most bodaciously awesome musical quotes not including the 16 bar one from my previous entry here because it's too damn long and not including the two I have tattooed on my body (“Emancipate yourself from mental slavery.” Bob Marley, and “Life is waiting for you.” OLP), cuz otherwise I couldn't narrow it down to 10. Phew, I'm outa breath! **Please note, these are quotes that are contained within songs, quotes artists have said in interviews or in passing is an entirely different list for another day.
