I started out with a carpet-cleaning business. Then I had a lunch wagon business, where you pull up and serve food. Then I had bars and then restaurants.
‘Shotgun’s one of the first songs I ever wrote. It’s about a couple I met at Waffle House, an all night diner I used to hang at before I could go to bars.
We’ve done very different Yes albums – 11 bars, 13. I think we had something that had 17/4 in it. It’s just like anything – the more you do it, the more you have to do it.
I’m all right if the NHS gets privatized. I’ll just spit two bars, get a bit of money and go fix my ribs.
No candy bars unless I’ve had a low blood sugar where I’m shaky.
I try not to snack, but my family, we’re all big snackers. So I try to keep healthy snacks around, like Nutri-Grain bars, pistachios, that sort of thing. But you’re always going to cheat a little bit.
I love Singapore’s rooftop bars.
I’ve got no problem whatsover with collar bars coming back in. I need to look a tiny bit older before I can dress like that the entire time – otherwise I’m going to look like I’m in ‘Bugsy Malone.’
Vietnamese are very similar to the Chinese. They just can’t sit on gold bars underneath their beds. Eventually, they will pull out their gold bars and invest.
I’ve got to be high class… Which is sad, because I like bars.
The insecurity that comes from being behind bars with, at best, imperfect oversight makes us all feel responsible only for ourselves. We end up either docile, apathetic, and unwilling to engage with each other, or hostile, angry, violent, and resentful.
Protein bars, protein flapjacks, protein granola, protein ice cream and protein coconut water… To look at the health-food aisles, you’d think that protein was a substance no one could overeat. Even bread now comes in protein-enriched form.
In ‘Queen,’ songs were the part of events happening in the story, and that is where we enjoy music. We dance at weddings, we lip sync at bars and discos, and there are special moments in life which need background music. It should be depicted in films in the same way.
No padlocks, bolts, or bars can secure a maiden better than her own reserve.
Anybody who has ever played in bars has played ‘Keep Your Hands to Yourself.’ It’s a monumental piece of rock & roll. It makes you feel exactly like rock & roll is supposed to make you feel.
I want to get a vending machine, with fun sized candy bars, and the glass in front is a magnifying glass. You’ll be mad, but it will be too late.
I was on the train; I did play, but I also played in bars, in the streets, at birthday parties for people who discovered me on the train.
Nobody would take checks from Indians, nobody would give them any credit, and nobody would let them drink in the bars. There was a rudeness, a brusqueness, with which the Indians were treated constantly. At a very young age, that had entered my consciousness.
When Mom visits me in New York she hangs out with me and all my friends anyway. We go out to the gay bars together.
The typical prisoner has numerous brushes with the law before finally being sent behind bars. Each year thousands of cautions are issued to people who will come back to crime again.
I think of the pop music that I’ve made in the past and hear on the radio as candy bars. And I was really good at making candy bars.
Most British tapas bars aren’t bars at all. They’re restaurants that specialise in tapas. Nothing wrong with that, but it’s a bit different from the Spanish way of doing things, in which tapas is an adjunct to the drinks and the general vibe.
As a straight man, I love going to gay bars. People at gay bars just love to dance.
People don’t go to bars they think are uncool.
Working in bars back then, in the ’50s, to get a job you had to play all kinds of music. There’d be customers come in and yell jazz tunes at you and yell rock ‘n’ roll tunes at you and polkas and rhythm and blues and country music.
Trump knows he’s facing some pretty strong criminal liability when he leaves office, one way or another. Even if a sitting president can’t be indicted, he’s got to know his future looks like it’s behind bars unless he cuts some sort of deal with the prosecutors.
When you get my ‘Supreme Clientele,’ it is straight bars.
I’m not really into clubbing, I like to go to parties after events, and those do end up at clubs or bars. But in my free time I go grocery shopping or to the gym, or I talk on the phone.
In music, the punctuation is absolutely strict, the bars and rests are absolutely defined. But our punctuation cannot be quite strict, because we have to relate it to the audience. In other words we are continually changing the score.
Joining ‘ER,’ I felt like that kid who got the golden ticket in ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.’ I’ve been offered chocolate bars all these years, but there had been no golden ticket. Just the stomachache that was called ‘Jake in Progress.’
A woman of 40 or 50 or 60 can take estrogen replacements, get facelifts, spend her money in bars.
There is… a greater sense of divine purpose when we’re playing at all-Christian rock shows. In clubs or bars, we know that the audience primarily came to see a show, so we try not to get preachy and instead let the music do most of the talking.
Stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage.
My first bars were about wrestling! That was basically all I knew back then.
And I’d spent 20 years in bars and nightclubs, dealing with promoters and getting ripped off and just everything that comes with all that stuff – paying your dues, I guess.
I think I first learned about Stonewall in Queer Theatre class at the University of Pittsburgh. It made me mad that queer people out at bars could be raided and arrested and harassed by the police just for being who they were.
Most girls are taught to avoid risk and failure. We’re taught to smile pretty, play it safe, get all A’s. Boys, on the other hand, are taught to play rough, swing high, crawl to the top of the monkey bars, and then just jump off headfirst.
When we play an outdoor venue, you’ll see whole families – boys, girls, men and women – from kids to grandparents who somehow heard the music… Think about how hard it is for artists who can never get a gig at an all-ages gig. Who goes to hear music in bars? People who can get into bars; people who drink.
I love snacks, but I’m kind of growing out of them. I’m getting into fruit and Clif Bars.
I just wanted to eat, to survive. I started singing a cappella in bars. I saved up money to get my first guitar and started writing songs.
You start in bars and then restaurants, then you want to get into comedy clubs where you feature, then you headline, and once you sell out clubs you’re into theaters. I’ve been able to get there, and it’s cool to do that.
I don’t look to jump over 7-foot bars: I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over.
Bars can’t be everything to everyone. They must be everything to someone.
I love being in London, where I live, for the shops, the bars and the clubs – but I equally enjoy going to my mum’s house in Ayrshire and being able to sit on a cliff by the sea.
God, my parents, my wife. I don’t have a lot of friends, because I’m always moving around. I don’t drink, so I don’t hang out in bars. But they’ve been very big in my life. Because they have helped to encourage me.
Without federal standards for school lunches, candy bars, packaged snacks and soda can be offered to our children in school.
I sleep in peace, even if only in the company of lice, behind bars. The same could not be said of my incarcerators though they sleep in warm beds, next to their wives, in their homes.
Nobody wants to get locked up, although ‘locked up’ is a matter of perspective. There can be people who are out who are in prison mentally and emotionally and worse off than those who are behind bars.
It’s often been said that politics in Islington, in many ways, begins and ends with housing, and it’s not hard to see why. Despite the borough’s image of exclusivity – the stereotype that it’s all Georgian squares and cappuccino bars – the reality is much more complex.
That was one of the most hurtful things, to have my mother see me in court and to have my mother see me behind bars.
Looking back, we had the hard time, but the privilege, of actually coming up playing biker bars and little bitty college bars.
I always played around with writing songs, but when you’re spending a lot of time in bars, you have a lot of big ideas, but you don’t do much with them.
My track record – the bars, the delivery, the flow and the voice – makes Jadakiss top five dead or alive.
Other than Caroline’s in New York, I pretty much haven’t done clubs. That was primarily because I always liked the people and audiences at theaters and bars better.
I still got bars, I just use ’em differently. I’d say I’m a better singer than I am a rapper at this point because I’ve been sharpening my sword.
I need to do something with Cordae. His mannerism is so cool but his bars… he got them bars that puts him in an elite thing.
The writing process, the way I go about it is I do whatever the beat feels like, whatever the beat is telling me to do. Usually when the beat comes on, I think of a hook or the subject I want to rap about almost instantly. Within four, eight bars of it playing I’m just like, ‘Oh, OK. This is what I wanna do’.
