I've heard some tunes in recent years that were pretty close to that same idea. The idea was you turn on the radio and you want to hear some music and up comes a commercial.
Because the casual music listeners are the ones who turn on the radio and they don't really care what's playing, they just know that they kinda like it or it's easy to drive to or it's easy to sing along to or whatever.
People in England were coming up to me, saying, My mother and father turned me on to your music. This happened to me 20 years ago. When I was 40 they were saying that.
There is a cliche that men want their women to be ladies in public and hookers behind closed doors. I want my woman to be the sharper image robot so that she can be turned off.
What we call Man's power over Nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with Nature as its instrument.
All men are homosexual, some turn straight. It must be very odd to be a straight man because your sexuality is hopelessly defensive. It's like an ideal of racial purity.
I use men's skis because, honestly, they work better for me. They're longer, they're stiffer, they're harder to turn - but at the same time, they're much more stable.
Men are like the earth and we are the moon; we turn always one side to them, and they think there is no other, because they don't see it - but there is.
Money is the worst currency that ever grew among mankind. This sacks cities, this drives men from their homes, this teaches and corrupts the worthiest minds to turn base deeds.
My mom makes something called green pie, which I thought was a delicacy that many people only had at Thanksgiving, but it turns out it was just Jell-O with whipped cream on it. And it's delicious.
When I turned 18, my mom, my nana and I all went and had tattoos of our favorite Bible verses put on the inside of our wrists. Mine is 1st Timothy, 4:12.
I'm not bothered by the idea of getting old, or I guess you could say by having arrived at old. I was 10 when my mom turned 55. For 1955, she was a very old mom.
Years ago I realized that maybe I made mistake, politically, when I turned a lot of that stuff down. I would go off to obscure places and make movies that six people went to see.
The things I see now on TV and in movies are so outlandish. Kids doing rude things with pies! And the language that they use! It's being outrageous for the sake of being outrageous. I can't watch it. It turns me off.
Jack Jordan: If someone strikes you on your right cheek, turn your other to him also.
McKenzie: Love... shit, I don't know. As long as she's cute and she's willing, right? [Turns serious] McKenzie: I'm flexible on the cute.
Curt Henderson: Someone wants me. Someone roaming the streets, wants ME... Will you turn the corner?
[Fires missiles at a leviathan, which turns to pursue him] Tony Stark: Well, I got his attention. What the hell was step two?
Thor: Loki, turn off the Tesseract or I will destroy it! Loki: You can't! There's no stopping it. There is only the war! Thor: So be it!
Donald 'Duck' Dunn: We had a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline.
Maxine: Tell me a little about yourself. Craig Schwartz: Well, I'm a puppeteer... Maxine: [turns to bartender] Check!
