Quotations: Bob Gansler – I could rant and rave about a lot of things. I could rant and rave about the man in the middle. I could rant and rave about the unsportsmanlike behaviour of Glen for most of the game. I could certainly rant and rave about the schedule which forced us to play Wednesday night and again on Friday and on a rainy, knee deep field. There are all sorts of physiological reasons, but the bottom line is we didn’t play well enough early enough in order to go and get that first goal.

Kendall Hayes – I get a little hard-headed about things with what I want done and to their credit, they let me rant everyone once in awhile. It’s tough to play that hard all the time.

William Cobbett – The Christian religion, then, is not an affair of preaching, or prating, or ranting, but of taking care of the bodies as well as the souls of people; not an affair of belief and of faith and of professions, but an affair of doing good, and especially to those who are in want; not an affair of fire and brimstone, but an affair of bacon and read, beer and a bed.

Michael Class – Sadly, the Colorado high school teacher who drew national attention for his classroom rants has lots of company. I was appalled at how some teachers presented American history to my own children. My son and daughter learned that Thomas Jefferson had slaves before they learned that he wrote the document articulating our rights and duties as free people. My children knew that more than a hundred thousand people died when the atomic bomb was dropped on Japan, but they were not made to understand the moral context and the enormous scale of the conflict called World War II in which the atomic bomb story fit.

Jamie King – I hadn’t swum very well and had been entered into a race I didn’t want to swim. He pulled me aside in front of the whole team and had a 10-minute rant and rave and told me I was the worst swimmer he had ever worked with. A lot of people were scared of Bill but no one would really stand up to him. He’s caused a lot of people to give up.

Roy McFarland – I had a rant and lost it a bit but lost it for the team not for myself. These players have given everything they can for our supporters and they deserved better than what they got that day from a small section of fans.

Miriam Weinstein – Although I have spent this book ranting about supper, you may have noticed that, underneath it all, supper is not really the point. Supper is only the occasion, the excuse. The subject is actually family, establishing, enjoying, and maintaining ties. The goal is creating and reinforcing a secure place for your loved ones in a society that can seem awfully uninterested in human needs.

Erik Heimann – I don’t pretend to be any smarter than Average Joe. To be honest, I’m not even sure what I’m saying half the time. My vocabulary is not as big as my lyrics would suggest. That said, I’ve always had a passion for creative writing, language and wordplay. I think a singer has a dual opportunity to be artistic: I have my voice as my instrument, but I also have an entire language at my disposal. Why not explore the outer realms? I’d be doing this band an injustice if I did anything less. I wanted this album to be more poetic, with less ranting and raving, and I think I did that, but without sacrificing my intellect or personal philosophies.

Curtis Deloatch- I don’t think it’s going to be like a war or anything. Before the game I’m pretty sure there’s going to be ranting and raving going on, but once we hit the field we all know we’ve got to play between the whistles.

Rodney Crowell – So I set it in a bar and made him say, ‘Hey, I’m a drag when I’ve had a few drinks, you know?’ While I was careful to give him ownership of the fact that he was ranting, it’s certainly my beliefs. To me, the presidential election was a smokescreen, a diversion. From my point of view, the engine room for what’s wrong is in Congress. That’s really the connection between the people and government.
