About Me


"You learn very quickly there's no point moaning about the music business. We have an expression in this band: 'I do believe this was your chosen profession.' It's our way of saying, 'Shut the fuck up, you could be driving an ice-cream van.'" — Francis Rossi, Status Quo

It was a chilly fall day when the farmer spied the little sparrow lying on its back in the middle of his field. The farmer stopped his plowing, looked down at the frail, feathered creature and inquired, "Why are you lying upside down like that?" "I heard the sky is going to fall today," replied the bird. The old farmer chuckled. "And I suppose your spindly little legs can hold up the sky?" "One does what one can," replied the plucky sparrow.
