		Q U O T E--O F--T H E--D A Y Bono the bruiser; Pitt the wiser “What I'd say is, 'Fuck right off. We were doing dance remixes when you were still in short pants, you little assholes.' When this bogus term alternative rock was being thrown at every '70s retro rehash folk group, we were challenging people to new sonic ideas. If some little snotty anarchist with an Apple Mac and an attitude thinks he invented dance music and the big rock group is coming into his territory, [that's] ridiculous.” -- Bono, of the rock group U2, responding to criticisms that the group's "Pop" album imitated underground music forms. Quoted in the March 31 Time magazine. “Reporters ask me what I feel China should do about Tibet. Who cares what I think China should do? I'm a fucking actor! They hand me a script. I act. I'm here for entertainment, basically, when you whittle everything away. I'm a grown man who puts on makeup.” -- Brad Pitt, star of "Seven Years In Tibet." Quoted in the Oct. 13 Time magazine.
