Salvador Dali On 'What's My Line'



Surrealist artist, Salvador Dali (1904- 1989) Quotes ~

“Have no fear of perfection - you'll never reach it.”

“I don't do drugs. I am drugs.”

“At the age of six I wanted to be a cook. At seven I wanted to be Napoleon. And my ambition has been growing steadily ever since.”

“Every morning when I wake up, I experience an exquisite joy —the joy of being Salvador Dalí— and I ask myself in rapture: What wonderful things is this Salvador Dalí going to accomplish today?”

“A true artist is not one who is inspired, but one who inspires others.”

see these people in context of their time knowing what we know is coming for them and society. Since most celebrity guests are entertainers its worth noting Rock Around the Clock was going to soon appear in a movie and become the first nationwide across the board rock and roll smash, making entire genres of
WML guests obsolete, much like the beatles would later do in 64. A smattering of POC celebrity guests, a few latino and more blacks, only one asian in 5 yrs.

So much so that I wonder if at least a hint wasn't given to one of them ... but if I'm wrong, big kudos to these folks cause that was not easy based on what had been previously established.

Either way, a very cool thing to watch!
