But it's 8 years ago today that he died, so here are some of my favourite quotes from him.
"The world is like a ride in an amusement park.
And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are.
And the ride goes up and down and round and round.
It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly coloured and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while.
Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, is this real, or is this just a ride?
And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, "hey - don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because, this is just a ride..."
"And those rock stars that don't do drugs, the ones that speak out against them? Boy do they...SUCK! Coincidence? Ball-less, spiritless, soul-less corporate little b*tches each and every one of them."
"Is it me? I remember a time when music had a conscience, music had soul and music had balls . Jimi Hendrix...any doubt about that guy? Ok, it's just me...f--k it, go keep buying Michael Bolton CDs and forgetting where we came from. Hey I'm a dreamer...but I'm not the only one"
"Strange to think we celebrate Easter the way we do huh? Celebrating the death and resurrection of Jesus by telling our kids that a rabbit leaves chocolate eggs in the night...I wonder why we're f---ed up as a race? Why those two thing? Why not a goldfish left a Lincoln Log in your sock drawer? At least that has a miraculous connatation to it huh? Mummy! Mummy! Last night a goldfish left a Lincoln Log in my sock drawer!..That's the story of Jesus, son"
"For the record, and let's not mince words for our very survival depends on truth always...George Michael is a big girl. If you ladies like him? You are a lesbian. Come on, George is hocking diet-coke? Even Madonna hocked real coke you little puss. Diet-Coke! I drink it because we don't like big heinies do we girls? Tee-hee-hee.."
"The fact that you can't name every animal on this planet tells me something. It tells me we left the garden too soon. Let's quit rutting for a second and figure out this food/air deal ok? How about a nice world for kids to come to? No? It's just me isn't it, you don't feel the fire, y'all are staring at me and you just don't get it. F--k man, just carry on dropping 'em like flies. How about adopting one that's in a very bad place and offering it love and attention? People ask me why I don't, and I say because I hate children. But that's what gets me man, this veneration of children. They're killing children at Waco! How many children died! The children! Think of the children!...what does that mean, they reach a certain age and they're off you love list? You either love all people of all ages or you shut the f--k up."

Yep, I love the way he says "Orange Drink"
Not heard that one Meka, very
> good ya.
That'll be because I made it up. Or I think I did. I might have heard it ages ago, and now adopted it. That can happen!

My own view on whether life should be taken seriously? Look in

I think that might have to become my new life motto! Brilliant.
The rollercoaster one is still a favourite though, "Just a ride"
