The best quote from Gregg Allman's autobiography "My Cross to Bear"

Full quotes:

1. "Listen, if one more motherfucker washes my hair, I'm done. If you ain't got the take in the can, then you ain't got the fucking take, because this hair ain't getting wet again!"

2. She'd really thought that I was going to come in that room and beat her, because she could see how upset I was. When I didn't, I showed her how much I loved her, and that really surprised her.

3. Duane, Shepley, and I got in the car and headed over to "Spadetown," as we called it, to get a pistol. It wasn't a racial thing at all, because we loved it there -- it was just the name that everybody used back then.

4. We were like Lewis and Clark, man -- we were musical adventurers, explorers.

5. I let it ooze out, man. It's like some people squeeze too hard on the toothpaste tube. If I squeeze too hard on a song, it will sound contrived.

6. One thing I'll never forget about that day was getting to see Jimi Hendrix. [...] in all honesty, I thought he could have done better. From what I've heard, he wasn't always all that much when he played live.

7. Jaimoe wasn't no fisherman, but I remember the one time he got a sunburn. I didn't even know that black people could get a sunburn.

8. We'd bring girls with us and snatch their tops off -- just good clean fun.

9. Finally someone was like, "Can you stop cramming yourself full of caviar so we can start the wedding?" God, I love that shit, and to this day I'm wild about it.

10. I said some hurtful things to him that he's forgiven me for, which is an age-old story between fathers and sons.

11. Without having had a dad, and legally not being able to see my kids, I really missed out on the father thing.

12. Basically, you state the problem in the first verse, you embellish on the problem in the second verse -- like "let me tell you what a bitch she REALLY is" -- and then you usually have some music, to let you think about them words for a while and also get lifted up by the music.

13. The Allman Brothers Band has had its bad nights, but we are some Super Bowl motherfuckers compared to all them other bands.

14. He's seen it all, man -- he's seen a monkey fuck a football!

15. Acid is a brain douche, if you ask me.

He's seen it all, man -- he's seen a monkey fuck a football!

Caviar one's excellent

12 isn't so different from Paul McCartney explaining writing songs in 'Many Years from Now'.

Now I want to read this book.

Wow. Must read

let it ooze out, man. It's like some people squeeze too hard on the toothpaste tube. If I squeeze too hard on a song, it will sound contrived.

Til the toothpaste runs down my leg

Exactly

11 got me the most

10 and 11 need each other

Voted for

9. Finally someone was like, "Can you stop cramming yourself full of caviar so we can start the wedding?" God, I love that shit, and to this day I'm wild about it.

Unperson OTM.

1, because I have no idea what the fuck he could even possibly be talking about.

these two in tandem, tho kinda lol but mostly sad i guess

10. I said some hurtful things to him that he's forgiven me for, which is an age-old story between fathers and sons.

11. Without having had a dad, and legally not being able to see my kids, I really missed out on the father thing.

Great thread. Voted caviar.

i don't have the book on me to check but i'm pretty sure it was during the filming of this, in which gregg plays a drug lord or something?

the book is a wild ride. highly recommended, and there are plenty more boneheaded nuggets that i couldn't think of when i put this poll together.

xxxp Surely 1. is him bitching about having to do re-takes in a film/video and not wanting his hair washed again?

The father thing one is great; the father 'thing' meaning either having one or being one. Amazing.

Acid is a brain douche is my choice

Father thing > caviar (barely)

really hard to beat "monkey fuck a football" imo

and then you usually have some music

“Ok guys, let’s vamp on A Minor for 10 minutes. Then we’ll resolve this thing”

It wasn't a racial thing at all, because we loved it there

the "he isn't an Arab, he's a decent family man" of southern rock, I guess
