Quotes 

• [the teenagers Homer and Barney are doing an acapella version of "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" in front of a mirror] 

  Middle-aged Grampa : What the Hell are you two doin'?

  Young Barney : It's called rockin' out!

  Young Homer : You wouldn't understan', dad. You're not *with it*.

  Middle-aged Grampa : I used to be with it, but then they changed what *it* was. Now what I'm with isn't *it*, and what's *it* seems weird and scary to me. It'll happen to you...

• Homer : Why do you need new bands? Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974. It's a scientific fact.

• Billy Corgan : Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins.

  Homer : Homer Simpson, smiling politely.

• Homer : I went to the record store today and they were playing all that music I've never heard of. It was like the store had gone crazy.

  Marge : Hmm. Record stores have always seemed crazy to me, but it doesn't upset me. Music is none of my business.

  Homer : That's all well and good for you, but I used to rock and roll all night and party every day. Then it was every other day... now I'm lucky to find half an hour a week in which to get funky. I've got to get out of this rut and back into the groove.

• Bart : Do you wear boxers or briefs?

  Homer : [checking]  Nope.

  Bart : What religion are you?

  Homer : You know, the one with all the well-meaning rules that don't work out in real life. Uh... Christianity.

• Homer : Grand Funk Railroad paved the way for Jefferson Airplane, which cleared the way for Jefferson Starship. The stage was now set for the Alan Parsons Project, which I believe was some sort of hovercraft.

• Homer : For more information on Grand Funk, consult your school library!

• Homer : You know my kids think you're the greatest, and thanks to your gloomy music they've finally stopped dreaming of a future I can't possibly provide.

  Billy Corgan : Well we try to make a difference.

• Billy Corgan : Hey, Homer, looks like our next stop is your hometown, Springfield.

  D'arcy Wretzky : D'Arcy: Is it true that we have to bring our own water?

  Homer : We got a little rule back home: if it's brown, drink it down; if it's black, send it back.

• Homer : Pftt... Rules. I'm a rocker, I don't care for rules.

  Veterinarian : Mr. Simpson, this is serious. If you take one more cannonball to the gut, you will die.

  Homer : Die? Well, you don't scare me, doc, 'cause dying would be a stone groove. Got any messages for Jimi Hendrix?

  Veterinarian : Yes: "Pick up your puppy."
