“She gets rock n roll, a rock n roll station
And a rock n roll dream.
She's making movies on location.
She don't know what it means.
But the music make her wanna be the story.
And the story was whatever was the song, what it was.
Rollergirl don't worry.
D. J. plays the movies all night long.”

Mark Knopfler (1949) English guitarist

Song lyrics, Making Movies (1980)

“Hail, hail rock and roll; deliver me from the days of old.
Long live rock and roll; the beat of the drums, loud and bold.
Rock, rock, rock and roll; the feelin' is there, body and soul.”

Chuck Berry (1926–2017) American rock-and-roll musician

Song lyrics

“There was Rock 'N' Roll across the dial.
When I think of her, it makes me smile.”

Tom Petty (1950–2017) American musician

Dreamville
Lyrics, The Last DJ (2002)

“When I was a younger man,
Got lucky with a rock 'n' roll band,
Struck gold in Hollywood,
All the time I knew I would
Get back to the country,
Back where it all began.
Get back to the country,
Back in the barn again.”

Neil Young (1945) Canadian singer-songwriter

Get Back To The Country
Song lyrics, Old Ways (1985)

“It’s sad to think what the state of rock and roll will be twenty years from now. It just seems like when rock and roll is dead the whole world’s gonna explode. It’s already so rehashed and so plagariazed that it’s barely alive now. It’s disgusting. I mean, kids don’t even really care about rock and roll as much as they used to, as the other generations have. It’s already turned into nothing but a fashion statement and an identity for kids to use as a tool for them to fuck and have a social life. And at that point I really can’t see music being of any importance to a teenager, really.”

Kurt Cobain (1967–1994) American musician and artist

“The magic's in my hands
When in doubt I whip it out
I got me a rock 'n' roll band
It's a free-for-all”

Ted Nugent (1948) American rock musician

"Free-for-All" on Free-for-All (1976)
Lyrics

“Rock 'n' roll is an attitude, it's not a musical form of a strict sort. It's a way of doing things, of approaching things. Writing can be rock 'n' roll, or a movie can be rock 'n' roll. It's a way of living your life.”

Lester Bangs (1948–1982) American music critic and journalist

“No matter how long you play rock and roll, songs might change just as long as the balls are there, the rock balls. And that's what's important to us”

Bon Scott (1946–1980) Rock musician

Interview with Record Review, 1979.

“When I listen to this rock and roll and look at you kids, I don't think it's a whole lot different than the Charleston and the Varsity Drag.”

“The more info I read, the more the Rock & Roll hall of fame seems anti-rock. Rock was not meant to be judged by panels of old people.”
