Eugene Chadbourne Quotes

Can you imagine a guy breaking into your car, and he steals your guitar case ‘cause he thinks it’s a guitar, and he gets it home and opens it up and there’s a rake inside it, an electric toilet plunger and a dog skull? That actually happened Picture Quote #1

I do the protest stuff. I do country and western. I play both acoustic and electric guitar in a lot of different styles, from loud, psychedelic stuff to quiet finger-picking Picture Quote #1

I play these sort of comical instruments I invented, like the electric rake and the electric plunger. I do a lot of almost stand-up comedy material. Just the juxtaposition of the different styles in itself sometimes is funny. Like, I do sort of an acoustic version of ‘Purple Haze’ that has some bluegrass licks in it Picture Quote #1

I want to be taken seriously as the type of musician that plays stuff like an electric rake. I mean, how seriously do you take someone like Spike Jones? They take him pretty seriously - a really good musician who made a great contribution in terms of humor, which is part of what I try to do too Picture Quote #1

Sometimes you have trouble because someone ‘likes’ your music so much. They follow you around for hours singing little bits of the songs, or just freaking out Picture Quote #1

There are no bridges in folk songs because the peasants died building them Picture Quote #1
