This is a rather circuitous solution. You have, in the past, referred favorably to a couple of singer-songwriters who are now deceased. We are not talking 'bout one who is centuries gone, e.g. Mozart, but rather dead within living memory.

I say either Bob Marley or Jimi Hendrix. Yeah? So say I hopefully.

Pretty sure it's Luciano Pavarotti...he did a duet with Bono and that quote sounds like something he would say.

Your quote is from the most famous writer in the German language: Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe. I am currently trying to improve my German, and Goethe is, I am told by fluent speakers of that language, a user friendly author.
I believe them, though at my level of understanding, he is HELLA hard to read (I hafta' look up nearly every third word; it really sets me out for the novice that I truly am):( Perhaps I should stick to books in French or Spanish for the time being...

Evidently, y'all don't recall this quote from ol' Benjamin Franklin, in his "Poor Richard's Almanac". Here, we'll try something easier, I hope.

Well, the whole bit was done by Abbott and Costello, but I don't know which one spoke that line in particular...

"Fans don't boo nobodies."

At first I thought it was said by Pete Rose. It would make sense coming from him, wouldn't it? But then I was corrected; it was Reggie Jackson, huh?

New quote: "It's not quite fair, is it? We're four and their five."

It was said by John Lennon to a reporter who speculated about some competition of the Beatles with the Rolling Stones, a silly notion to an artist.

Hint: It is ALSO a song title from 1950's Rock n' Roll.

While I wouldn't call this person an entertainer, per se, what he gave to the world, in more ways than one, is DEFINITELY entertainment....
