“Who knew Lenny was an encyclopedia for useless information?”
“Cos if it's encyclopedias we've got enough, like, information... and if it's God, you've got the wrong house.”
“Real intelligence is a creative use of knowledge, not merely an accumulation of facts. The slow thinker who can finally come up with an idea of his own is more important to the world than a walking encyclopedia who hasn’t learned how to use this information productively.”
“There’s a vast fraternity of record collectors, and the record store was their hub. There was not a lot of information on these groups or the labels so you’d gather [there] and it would be like a library. - Lenny Kaye quoted”
“It is a very sad thing that nowadays there is so little useless information.”
“My brain is full with useless information, until it becomes useful to others”
