You could live in Winnipeg a thousand years and not meet Ringo, Paul McCartney, or Bob Dylan.
Meaning of the quote
The quote means that even if you lived in Winnipeg, a city in Canada, for a very long time, you would likely never meet famous musicians like Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, or Bob Dylan. These musicians are so famous and important that they wouldn't be found in a regular city like Winnipeg. The quote suggests that these musicians are so special and unique that they wouldn't be easily accessible, even if you lived in the same place for a very long time.

There may be a new album, and there may not. Right now, we’re encouraging bootlegging because there have been some great live things that ended up on the Internet. Rather than try to stop it, we like it. If nobody gave a crap about you, they wouldn’t bother to bootleg you.
