- [the teenagers Homer and Barney are doing an acapella version of "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" in front of a mirror]
- Middle-aged Grampa: What the Hell are you two doin'?
- Young Barney: It's called rockin' out!
- Young Homer: You wouldn't understan', dad. You're not *with it*.
- Middle-aged Grampa: I used to be with it, but then they changed what *it* was. Now what I'm with isn't *it*, and what's *it* seems weird and scary to me. It'll happen to you...
- Homer: Why do you need new bands? Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974. It's a scientific fact.
- Homer: I went to the record store today and they were playing all that music I've never heard of. It was like the store had gone crazy.
- Marge: Hmm. Record stores have always seemed crazy to me, but it doesn't upset me. Music is none of my business.
- Homer: That's all well and good for you, but I used to rock and roll all night and party every day. Then it was every other day... now I'm lucky to find half an hour a week in which to get funky. I've got to get out of this rut and back into the groove.
- B-Real: Before we start, we have a lost child here. If she's not claimed within the next hour, she will become property of Blockbuster Entertainment.
- Homer: Grand Funk Railroad paved the way for Jefferson Airplane, which cleared the way for Jefferson Starship. The stage was now set for the Alan Parsons Project, which I believe was some sort of hovercraft.
- Homer: You know my kids think you're the greatest, and thanks to your gloomy music they've finally stopped dreaming of a future I can't possibly provide.
- Billy Corgan: Well we try to make a difference.
- Roadie: Okay who ordered the London Philharmonic Orchestra? Possibly while high? Cypress Hill, I'm looking at you!
- Roadie: [after Homer launches an inflated pig from a cannon] Oh, man. There goes Peter Frampton's big finale. He's gonna be pissed off.
- Peter Frampton: You're damn right I'm gonna be pissed off! I bought that pig at Pink Floyd's yard sale!
- Billy Corgan: Hey, Homer, looks like our next stop is your hometown, Springfield.
- D'arcy Wretzky: D'Arcy: Is it true that we have to bring our own water?
- Homer: We got a little rule back home: if it's brown, drink it down; if it's black, send it back.
- Mr. Burns: [chuckles] And to think, Smithers: you laughed when I bought TicketMaster. "Nobody's going to pay a 100% service charge."
- Waylon Smithers: Well, it's a policy that ensures a healthy mix of the rich and the ignorant, sir.
- Peter Frampton: Oh, this is just great. First Homer Simpson wrecks my pig, then Cypress Hill steals my orchestra, and now Sonic Youth's in my cooler. Get out of there!
- Thurston Moore: But you're not going to eat all that watermelon, Mr. Frampton.
- Marge: [Reading] Due to the unscheduled trip to the autowrecking yard the school bus will be out of commission for two weeks. Note by reading this letter out loud you have waived any resposinbility on our part in perpituity throughout the known universe?
- [Groaning]
- Homer: Pftt... Rules. I'm a rocker, I don't care for rules.
- Veterinarian: Mr. Simpson, this is serious. If you take one more cannonball to the gut, you will die.
- Homer: Die? Well, you don't scare me, doc, 'cause dying would be a stone groove. Got any messages for Jimi Hendrix?
- Veterinarian: Yes: "Pick up your puppy."
