Wednesday, May 19, 1954 - Phil Rudd (drummer AC/DC)

"Sonor drums are built very strongly and they're the only kit I could really use, to be honest. I've seen a lot of other kits, and nobody builds 'em better than Sonor. I've still got my Signature series kit, which I had built over 20 years ago, and some of the hardware is still like brand new. The chrome doesn't have a mark on it and just doesn't chip. But they're a helluva weight to drag around. I took that kit up to my kid's school for 'Dad's Day.' All the dads have to go to school and show what they can do, so I took my drums along. It was a big laugh, but it was hard work dragging my kit and the hardware up there, it was so heavy."

"If we don't feel the song needs it, we don't use anything extra. If we do, we do. It's purely, absolutely, the song and the way the CD is going that dictates what we're going to do."

Sunday, May 19, 1946 - André René Roussimoff (wrestling, André The Giant)

"Sometimes I get very discouraged seeing all the violence around me. All I can do is go about wrestling in my own way and hope to set an example in my own humble manner. More than that, short of declaring war on all rule breakers, I do not know."
