so i have a project for a gallery show, and i have to do a "bust"-style portrait of someone "famous or infamous" and include a quote from that person.

for lack of a better idea, i've elected to do steve. (though j-harvey pushed hard for me to draw peter mayhew).

i need a quote which sort of sums up some aspect of his personality or his reputation.

either something steve said, or something someone said about steve.

any help?

don't tell steve, though.

I like this one "LoFi is generally a bad idea". I don't think it sums his personality, but I like it.

something aboout jazz. would confound expectations.

Responding to a dumb question during Shellac's Q&A once, Steve shot back "Have you ever dressed up like your mom and fucked your dad?"

I can see that in bronze under a bust.

"I'd mash her kidshitter"

I've never actually heard Rush, but you guys sound like what I imagine Rush would sound like.

I really like that quote about Johnny Rowan (Blackie) - something like "we'll see in 10 years who's still making music and who's sucking dick in bus stations for pocket change".

Is it Hench that has the sig "Lets hear your record, cocksocket"?

I'd go with that.

"Find people who think like you and stick with them. Make only music you are passionate about. Work only with people you like and trust. Don't sign anything."

(Fun idea for a website, but they could have chosen some much better examples.)
