“Oh, they have technology better than ours, but they didn’t paint like Renoir, they don’t dance like Mick Jagger, they don’t write like Samuel Johnson or William Faulkner. They are envious of us. We have the most beautiful planet - the Rockies, the purple fields of the United States, the Lake District, the Pyrenees, the turquoise seas of the tropics. They don’t have that. They may have gelatinous pools and crystal mountains and they’ve got the technology to flip from planet to planet or dimension to dimension but, you know, Keith Richards didn’t come from there.”

This was the answer that Dan Akroyd gave The Guardian when they asked him why he thinks that aliens visit us. I can’t imagine these beings traveling millions of light years to see Mick Jagger and Keith Richards perform, much less our paintings. But we’re all entitled to our theories and opinions, right?
