Less than 20% of those quotes were funny. Poor Bob Pollard.
Also, at NO POINT were Guided by Voices together longer than Sonic Youth. 1984 to 2003 or some shit? Then 2004 to 2010 or some shit? Then 2011 to whatever.
1981-2011, without interruption and entirely without bullshit. For a teacher, he's a dumb motherfucker. Even for a drunkard teacher.
Don't get me wrong, I love Guided by Voices as much as the next guy. At least, the portion of their catalog that's worth hearing. But there's not a single GBV album aside from Alien Lanes that I would listen to from start to finish today without falling into a coma. Except maybe their "best of" and live records. Sooooo much crap. Crap songs are as much a part of the GBV DNA as booze and nonsense. They touched the sun on occasion, but Sonic Youth doesn't worship at the altar of the indie rock Axl Rose and his merry band of fuckwits. That's ludicrous.
