Pogledate li broj živućih i aktivnih glazbenika koji ponekad više pričaju nego li pjevaju, a i ono što kažu previše je, nije neobično da se nakupilo skladište bisera. Pridodamo li tome pionire moderne glazbe koji više nisu s nama (pa nema ni toliko gluposti) posao prikupljanja 100 najluđih citata dodatno kompliciramo.
Ipak, izrečene gluposti spadaju u tri vrlo predvidive kategorije: novac, slava i seks! Što bi tek bilo da smo uvrstili i Georgea W. Busha?!
Donosimo vam poduži, ali zajamčeno zabavan i zanimljiv pregled najvećih idiotarija izrečenih posljednjih 50 godina koji je prikupio britanski glazbeni magazin Clash Music. 
S ponosom možemo ustvrditi kako braća Gallagher i The Beatlesi predvode listu s najviše glupih izjava. No, našli su se tu i Bono, Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Jimi Hendrix te Elvis Presley. Na vrh liste zasjeli su samodopadni Kasabian, no njihov verbalni ispad s vrha ljestvice ne znači nužno i najveći!
