I just like the blues better than rock 'n' roll
In the broad spectrum of the arts, two worlds rarely overlap - the literary world and the world of rock music.
There's a reason why we're born with brains in our heads, not rocks.
I love the idea that people are listening to "Tales" during all types of activities. Knitting in their favorite chair, rock climbing, sky diving, driving at night.
The blues had a baby and they called it rock and roll.
How strange and wonderful is our home, our earth, with its swirling vaporous atmosphere, its flowing and frozen liquids, its trembling plants, its creeping, crawling, climbing creatures, the croaking things with wings that hang on rocks and soar through the fog, the furry grass, the scaly seas.
Rock musicians, and a vast array of popular-music musicians, due to their wealth, acquired through the mass of their notoriety, are able to be listened to and heard and thus are able to effect change on an international level.
I think it's important that all 50 years of rock 'n' roll live in the same place, because it's all connected.
The motto goes: Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll. I prefer: Love, Hugs and Hip-Hop Soul.
Real friends are very special, but you have to be careful because sometimes you have a friend and you think they are made of rock, then suddenly you realise they're only made of sand.
Through the history of rock n' roll, you see lots of bands making the mistake of putting on the tights when they get to arenas. Don't do that.
I'm fifty-six years old - I'm as old as rock 'n roll.
I know my ambitions are big, but you've got to have something after rock and roll.
What most interests me is human connection, whether it's on the street, in community, through music, storytelling, and shared experience. People tell me to be a rock cellist, make money, and give up on the activism so I can make more money.
If it weren't for rock'n'roll, I wouldn't be a designer
I was more influenced by players like Randy Rhoads and Eddie Van Halen than by the guys in southern rock bands.
Folk musicians have a lot of the same self-importance, but they're way more cruel and jealous than rock musicians - I know this for a fact because I used to be a folk musician.
Rock and Roll's got to be like Jack Daniels. You've got to feel it burn.
But Geology carries the day: it is like the pleasure of gambling, speculating, on first arriving, what the rocks may be; I often mentally cry out 3 to 1 Tertiary against primitive; but the latter have hitherto won all the bets.
My ma says a rock lasts forever, but people don’t, and that’s what makes them more precious.
