Topic: Great quote thread

thought that this would be a good idea. I'll get it started:  "Life is hard... it's harder when your stupid."

Don't know that this is a quote, more of a saying I think, but whatever: 

It's not what you don't know that's the problem, it's what you know that just ain't so.

Re: Great quote thread

This has got to be one of my all-time 'make you smile' favorite Joe quotes:

..."and a lot of it you know for me, it's like you can play a very hard rock riff...and you know and play a blues solo over that...it kind of combines the whole emotion of the blues....it's about just getting feel out of the guitar.....it doesn't matter what...you can play a polka and still play...they may look at ya' funny but at least you're keepin' true to the blues....."
                                                                                       Joe

For it's entirety for full effect, check out clip below and it starts in @ 1:16....Joe's great sense of humor shines thru........
