“We alleged that the Rocker Defendants paid for and edited false and libelous reports from Gradient, pre-positioning themselves to profit from the expected downturn in Overstock's share price. We do not believe the legislature of California, in passing the Anti-SLAPP statute, had in mind protecting libelous speech -- bought and paid for by those who stood to profit handsomely from this type of activity. We believe the case law is on our side and are confident we have adequately answered the motions to move this case forward.”

“Why can't we build orphanages next to homes for the elderly? If someone were sitting in a rocker, it wouldn't be long before a kid will be in his lap”

“[What's the most important thing to remember at the VMAs if you're a petulant young rocker? Black eyeliner. Think Goth, not gay. The boys from Fall Out Boy were comfortable enough to wear it with panache (lead singer Patrick Stump said he was wearing a jacket he charmed off a waiter in New York). Also some members of The Bravery wore a smoky eye with their punk-meets-prep stovepipe pants and pinstripe skinny jackets.] I didn't get to the dry cleaners, ... I was still asleep at 5 p.m. and this guy [gesturing to a handler] wakes me up and said, `I want you to tape this to your taint and come on out.'”

“I haven't heard anything like that since John Rocker , ... I think an apology is not going to be enough for that type of comment. I've said things I've regretted, too, and I wish I could take them back. I would give a guy a second chance if I knew him better, but I don't know him.”

“We're bringing AC/DC-like riffs, not a lot of whining like some rockers do. We don't like to bring rock down with sad stories, we just want to bring it -- that's what rock is about.”
Abby Gennet
“John Rocker is requiring extensive police presence in the ballpark.”
