"I used to do a turn in the army. I was really mad back then... [a]
loony! I'd never have any music to introduce me, which was a big deal.
Unheard of. I'd hop out on to the stage. It used to take ages.
Hop, hop, hop. As I got nearer to the microphone, they'd hear this
doddery voice going 'Do do do... do do do.' When I'd eventually make
it to the microphone I'd stop and say, 'I must be a great
disappointment to you all.' That's it. There's no joke. It's totally
irrational. A lot of people don't get it. Still don't."
-- Spike Milligan

"What will be is. Is is."

1. The Dim Bulb
"If you guys don't listen to me, we're going to end up in that box
again!"
-- Davy to the other Monkees, "Head"

The young man (boy, really) played with his fingers in the garish light
cast from the lone bulb hanging in the concrete basement.
