They are without doubt the yardstick by which I judge modern songwriting. Forget that it`s "old".... it has rarely been equalled and even with the Great Pretenders Oasis vying for their crown... it`s not happening. It`s not that I`m a nostalgia freak.... they were just great writers, with a great producer, at the right time, with the right noise. I have bought many CDs of the `60s bands because I wanted to have those songs but all of them pale in comparison when you put them next to The Beatles` stuff.
- Phil CollinsLike Leibniz`s possible worlds, most men are only equally entitled pretenders to existence. There are few existences.
- Alex GarwoodIt is not new or unusual for the real Americans, meaning those immigrants who came to America a little bit longer ago, to fear the outsiders, the pretenders, the newcomers.
- Alun Michaelhe`s at the top of his game, not at all elitist. So many people in this town, I`m sorry to say, are charlatans and pretenders, who just want to make the money, make an impression, but (Bruckheimer) comes to it as a viewer, a consumer, first and foremost.
