It comes back to their personal lives. Everybody has a different agend — Moe.

"It comes down to being comfortable enough onstage, and confident enough with our instruments, for our personality to come through."

"Our own individual musical tastes evolved a great deal, and the moe. sound has become more refined without sacrificing its defining improvisations. Theres something to be said for good live music where people take chances and go for it."

"Halloween at the Aladdin Theatre, Jim Loughlin dressed as Darth Vader, with an oversized helmet singing AC/DCs "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap"."

"Sometimes it might be difficult to be in the lobby of your hotel in your underwear without your glasses on. It also might be difficult to tell the women behind the counter that you think youre in the band moe., and you dont know where your room is. - Al on October, 5, 1996."

"Pretty soon, we were playing four nights a week, and the band had become our lives, and we needed to make the choice to do it full time. Then came that uncomfortable call to my folks to tell them I was quitting my job."

"Every year is a little bit better than the last. It would be great to do something groundbreaking that redirects the evolution of popular music before this is all over."

"We have created a wealthy society with tens of millions of talented, resourceful individuals who play virtually no role whatsoever as citizens. Bringing these people in — with their networks of influence, their knowledge, and their resources — is the key to creating the capacity for shared intelligence that we need to solve our problems."

"As in respect of the first wonder we are all on the same level, how comes it that the philosophic mind should, in all ages, be the privilege of a few? The most obvious reason is this: The wonder takes place before the period of reflection, and (with the great mass of mankind) long before the individual is capable of directing his attention freely and consciously to the feeling, or even to its exciting causes. Surprise (the form and dress which the wonder of ignorance usually puts on) is worn away, if not precluded, by custom and familiarity."

"The dualistic philosophy reigned supreme in Europe, dominating the development of Western science. But with the advent of atomic physics, findings based on demonstrable experiment were seen to negate the dualistic theory, and the trend of thought since then has been back to the monistic conception of the ancient Taoists."

"Under the rule of a repressive whole, liberty can be made into a powerful instrument of domination. The range of choice open to the individual is not the decisive factor in determining the degree of human freedom, but what can be chosen and what is chosen by the individual."

"All economic activity is carried out through time. Every individual economic process occupies a certain time, and all linkages between economic processes necessarily involve longer or shorter periods of time."

"I believe that the main lesson which our generation has learnt is that we must find a new limit for the activities of government, a limit which leaves ample scope for sensible experimentation but which secures the freedom of the individual as the mainspring of all social and political activity. The whole purpose of these lectures has been to suggest that we can find such a limit if we are willing to revive and develop the ancient ideal of the Rule of Law."
