“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.”

“I think my chances of getting into the Rock 'N' Roll Hall Of Fame are about as good as Milli Vanilli's.”

“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.”

“I think rock music is more personal for me. I have more freedom. I can show more of my personal emotions in rock and roll music. With classical music, I can only play something that is written already.”

“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.”

“Rock 'n' roll. Deal with it.”

“Peace Love Rock and Roll!!!”

“Rock and roll outfits, commence!”

“I didn't plan on rock 'n' roll. I wanted to learn jazz; I got to know some people doing rock 'n' roll with jazz, and I thought I could make money playing music.

You have more freedom than you do in anything except jazz — which is dying — as far as making any money is concerned.”

“The rock's easy, but the roll is another thing…”
