Personal Quotes

The great thing about Sandinista! is you can dance all the way through it.

This is an important fact: People prefer to dance than to fight wars. In these days, when everybody's fighting, mostly for stupid reasons, people forget that. If there's anything we can do, it's to get them dancing again.
