Lou Reed on Zappa: "He's probably the single most untalented person I've heard in my life. He's a two-bit pretentious academic, and he can't play rock'n'roll, because he's a loser. And that's why he dresses up funny. He's not happy with himself, and I think he's right."

i actually thought of the lou reed quote on frank zappa. i think that the quotes are from a compiled list and the lou reed quote didn't make the cut for whatever reason, though.

So a child named Jeremy can call his mother "mummy", whereas Richie has to call his mother "mum" or else she'll box him about the ears?

it's a cheap, lazy zing and not worth making but y'know it was at least half funny which puts it ahead of a lot of the list. and the point is that it's aimed at the Levellers who at the time was busy claiming Friedmanism and never having a bath as The Most Radical Gesture so

yeah but consider the source, i think when the zing is made by somebody clearly less talented than the zingee it weakens the blow a little. it's a great line tho.

one of my all-time favourites is henry rollins on morrissey - “get a girlfriend, get a James Brown CD, get some vitamin C, get some fucking clean air and some sunlight, go outside for a walk. get over it!”
i still don't know who rollins is but that is otm.

it's funny cause henry rollins is exactly as moody as morrissey really, and it's not like his music is particularly james brown-influenced

In the early 1990s, I'm pretty sure that Morrissey was on record as being "asexual". Plus Rollins very publicly supports gay rights.
