* [[Cool Old Lady]]: According to a 1991 interview with ''Melody Maker'', Grasshopper's mother:

{{quote| I ask Grasshopper's mother, who must be about 50-odd, if she enjoyed the show. "Oh yes," she beams, "it induced orgasm." I'm sorry? "It induced orgasm." After 36 hours in the vicinity of [[Weirdness Magnet|Mercury Rev]], [[Weirdness Censor|nothing on earth should throw me]]. This does. "Can I take your photograph?" she asks. I run away and tell Grasshopper that his band has just sexually aroused his mother. "Uh-huh," he says, like I've just asked him if he wants a beer. "She's kinda cool. And she smokes a lotta dope."}}
