"I've been seeing a lot of awesome bands lately. Saturday night we went to the PEARL JAM show at Comcast. It used to be the Tweeter Center nee Great Woods. It's impossible to keep up with the naming rights activity at these places. Almost every place we play on tour has had three or four names by now. What's next? Preparation H Center for the Performing Arts? Tampax Arena? Imagine the iconic branding graphics! Hey, we should make a corporate naming rights deal! We could be KRAFT MACARONI AEROSMITH for a tour! Think of the cash flow!

"So I was talking about the PEARL JAM show. Those guys are the real deal. They run on inspiration. Mike and Jeff came out and said 'Hi' before they went on. A few minutes later they were blasting it out there. Terry and I saw two songs from the side of the stage and then went out to the mix position for the rest. A lot of people like to stay on the side to get the close-up view but you just can't hear what's going on. If you want to see and hear everything you have to go out front. Backstage is overrated."

"In your case, I'll check my brain at the door and we'll start even, okay?"

Have you thanked a taper today?

    A girl phoned me the other day and said... Come on over, there's nobody home. I went over. Nobody was home.
    Rodney Dangerfield

    Acting deals with very delicate emotions. It is not putting up a mask. Each time an actor acts he does not hide; he exposes himself.
    Rodney Dangerfield

    At twenty a man is full of fight and hope. He wants to reform the world. When he is seventy he still wants to reform the world, but he know he can't.
    Rodney Dangerfield

    I came from a real tough neighborhood. I put my hand in some cement and felt another hand.
    Rodney Dangerfield

    I could tell my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.

    I could tell that my parents hated me. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio.
    Rodney Dangerfield

    I drink too much. The last time I gave a urine sample it had an olive in it.
    Rodney Dangerfield

    I found there was only one way to look thin, hang out with fat people.
    Rodney Dangerfield

    I get no respect. The way my luck is running, if I was a politician I would be honest.
    Rodney Dangerfield

    I had plenty of pimples as a kid. One day I fell asleep in the library. When I woke up, a blind man was reading my face.
    Rodney Dangerfield

    I have good looking kids. Thank goodness my wife cheats on me.
    Rodney Dangerfield

    I haven't spoken to my wife in years. I didn't want to interrupt her.
    Rodney Dangerfield

    I looked up my family tree and found out I was the sap.
    Rodney Dangerfield

    I looked up my family tree and found three dogs using it.
    Rodney Dangerfield

    I met the surgeon general - he offered me a cigarette.
    Rodney Dangerfield

    I remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof.
    Rodney Dangerfield

    I saved a girl from being attacked last night. I controlled myself.
    Rodney Dangerfield

    I told my dentist my teeth are going yellow. he told me to wear a brown tie.
    Rodney Dangerfield

    I told my psychiatrist that everyone hates me. He said I was being ridiculous - everyone hasn't met me yet.
    Rodney Dangerfield

    I told my wife the truth. I told her I was seeing a psychiatrist. Then she told me the truth: that she was seeing a psychiatrist, two plumbers, and a bartender.
