Dhani Harrison quotes

You know, I'd done my degree and I was like ‘You know, well, I've got a degree...you know, I'm this age.' and he, he, laughed and he was just like ‘What was I doing when I was 23?' and I said, ‘Dunno' and he was like, ‘What was I doing?...Oh yeah, Sgt. Pepper.' and I was just instantly just like oh. (Dhani Harrison)

I wrote that; I ran right outside I hopped inside a cab. I went out the other door. You know like the Beatles, when they go in one side and then get out the other side and everyone thinks they're in the cab and they're not. And this Englishman said fab. That was Bob Dylan's 115th Dream, you know the one. If you're a musician, people expect your music to be free. It's like is all plumbing free? Is all electricity free? Is all dentistry free?
