He loves black people with a fuck of a lot of money

I would like to say yeah, he [Kanye West*] was right but he wasn't ... I'm sure George Bush has a lot of black friends. He loves black people with a fuck of a lot of money. He doesn't care about people that don't have money. It just so happens that those people are black.

William James Adams [will.i.am], quoted in D. Lynskey, 33 Revolutions per minute: a history of protest songs (2010), 676


* This was Kanye West saying on live television, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, 'George Bush doesn't care about black people'

On the other hand, we were on acid

You can't approach the White Panther party without a sense of humour .. I mean, on the one hand we were serious political revolutionaries who wanted to overthrow the government. On the other hand, we were on acid.

John Sinclair, quoted in D. Lynskey, 33 Revolutions per minute: a history of protest songs (2010), 209

In break-up terms, the equivalent of piling his ex-lover's belongings in a heap and setting fire to them

[Dylan] returned at Yarrow's urging for an acoustic encore of 'Mr Tambourine Man' and, telling, 'It's All Over Now, Baby Blue'. Unsettled and irate, he then went off and wrote the scornful 'Positively 4th Street' - in break-up terms, the equivalent of piling his ex-lover's belongings in a heap and setting fire to them.
