From JabberRock, The Ultimate Book of Rock ‘n’ Roll Quotations:

“I took the job [as a grave digger] because I thought it’d help me overcome my fear of death. When I first went on the job the other guys in the cemetery initiated me by putting me in a coffin and closing the lid. That scared the shit ot of me-but I’ve had no fear of death since! It cured me.”

-ROD STEWART, 1988
