The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is marketing. You've got a bunch of faceless people in a back room who trademark a name that sounds very official. Well, if you had thought of it first, you would have been the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. ~ Paul Stanley
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Paul Stanley
I never thought a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland or anywhere else was a good idea. ~ Todd Rundgren
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Todd Rundgren
I'm not in the leftist controlled Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because of my political views, primarily my lifelong militant support of the NRA, the Second Amendment, and my belief that the only good bad guy is a dead bad guy. ~ Ted Nugent
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Ted Nugent
Every musician, their goal in life is to play music that people love, and I've accomplished my goal. I was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and left that chapter of my life and those people in the past. Good and bad, I've loved and am thankful for that chapter. ~ Steven Adler
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Steven Adler
I have never been accepted. I'll never make the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They're never going to let me in. ~ Nancy Sinatra
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Nancy Sinatra
Deep Purple definitely belongs in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 'Cause they had great songs, great musicianship, they had an impact, and they're a huge influence on the heavy metal community as a whole. ~ Kirk Hammett
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Kirk Hammett
I am one of the biggest Laura Nyro fans. I still listen to that stuff incessantly. Laura Nyro does not belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Songwriter Hall of Fame? Absolutely. ~ Paul Stanley
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Paul Stanley
I really thought twice about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when that came in. I always was of a mind that it's an inherently stupid idea to put something like that in a glass case. ~ Elvis Costello
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Elvis Costello
I think the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, first of all, has got to be put into the context of being an American cultural showcase. It's there to be a museum showcase of all that's great about American music. ~ Ian Anderson
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Ian Anderson
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is not a public democratic organization; it's a private club basically. It's like a private golf club and they decide who they're going to let in the club. ~ Micky Dolenz
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Micky Dolenz
I was really crying the morning after the indication. However I am over that now. Nevertheless, I am proud for it to be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame. But I've got two copies of the guitar now, to remind of the original Teardrop. ~ Dave Wakeling
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Dave Wakeling
I'm in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on the One-Hit Wonder Wall. I'm still very troubled by the fact that I'm in the hall and my dad isn't. ~ Debby Boone
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Debby Boone
At Bob Dylan's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988, Bruce Springsteen described hearing Dylan's music for the very first time. Springsteen was fifteen, he said, riding in the car with his mother, idly listening to the radio, when "Like a Rolling Stone" came on. It was as though, Springsteen recalled, "somebody took his boot and kicked open the door to your mind." His mother's verdict: "That man can't sing." Mrs. Springsteen's response reminds us that we don't all react the same way to the same experience - and her son's reminds us that life holds moments when our perspective dramatically shifts, when our assumptions are deeply challenged, when we see new possibilities or sense for the first time that whatever has been holding us back from freedom or creativity or new ventures might actually be overcome. There ~ Sharon Salzberg
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Sharon Salzberg
Michael Jackson was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It caused quite a controversy, because his nose isn't eligible for another fifteen years. ~ Conan O'Brien
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Conan O'Brien
With how huge Yes was, especially in the '70s and '80s, as a touring band and actually playing at the JFK Stadium in Philadelphia to 130,000 people, which is the biggest-paying show ever in rock history, you would think we'd done enough for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. ~ Chris Squire
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Chris Squire
I don't think there should be a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, period. ~ Josh Klinghoffer
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Josh Klinghoffer
What I can't understand why Blacks can't achieve royal status when it comes to forms that they have largely created? I mean there's a White King of Rock n' Roll, there's a White King of Jazz, how come we can never achieve titles of royalty in these fields we are supposed to prevail in? They held a so called Rock and Roll Hall of Fame the other night, where White judges credit people who resemble them with the invention of Rock and Roll. I didn't even see Blacks in the audience. ~ Ishmael Reed
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Ishmael Reed
When the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame decided to open up the voting beyond their inner circle, to the actual fans, that's when I think everything changed. ~ John Oates
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by John Oates
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a joke - the fact that Madonna is in before Rush and Kiss. Those two bands have influenced so many groups and people other than in metal. ~ Corey Taylor
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Corey Taylor
Bruce has always been so nice to me, which is crazy, because he's one of my heroes. I'll never forget being at a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony the year Bruce and Paul McCartney were inducted. We were at the bar, and Bruce was talking to Paul, and he turned to me and said, 'I can't believe I'm talking to Paul McCartney!' I thought, 'I can't believe I'm talking to Bruce Springsteen, who's talking to Paul McCartney! ~ Melissa Etheridge
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Melissa Etheridge
I really don't feel the need to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame because, at the end of the day, it's just somebody's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They have a particular process, and they're welcome to do it however they want to do it. ~ Alex Lifeson
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Alex Lifeson
In the early '70s, I started to feel like Philadelphia soul was the black-sheep brother of rock and roll. I decided to try to get away from it. ~ Daryl Hall
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Daryl Hall
It never was about the musician or the instrument - it was about the laser notes in a hall of mirrors, the music itself. It was going to change the world for the better and it has. Maybe not as fast or as much as we wanted, but it has and it still will. Whether your name is Mozart, or Django Reinhardt, or Robert Johnson, or Jimi Hendrix, or whoever is next; who you are doesn't matter so long as you can open that conduit and let the music come through. It is the burning edge, whatever it sounds like and whoever is playing it. It is the noisy, messy, silly, invincible voice of life that comes through the LP on the turn-table, the transistor radio, or the Bose in your new Lexus that makes you want to get up out of whatever you are stuck in and dance. It is Dionysus and the Maenads all over again. No one can control it and I pity whoever tries. I am old now and only a house cat sunning herself in the window - but I was a tigress once, and I remember. I still remember. ~ G.J. Paterson
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by G.J. Paterson
But tonight, this is what I can give you. I can offer you the vault of heaven, the firmament of the stars in the sky, and me ~ Deirdre Riordan Hall
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Deirdre Riordan Hall
It is a very long story, and I promise I'll spill all later. Condensed version: my mom is a Brannick, I am the unholy love child of a Brannick and a demon, and the bar for family dysfunction is now set super high."
Jenna, to her credit, knew when to just roll with it. "Okay, then."
"The more pressing question right now is, why are we back at Hex Hall?"
Jenna looked around, taking in the unnatural fog, the dilapidated (well, more dilapidated) feel of the house. "Something tells me it's not for a class ruinion."
"Did you get pulled through some kind of magic tornado, too?" I asked her.
"No, I flew in here as a bat. It's a new thing I learned from Byron."
"Ha ha," I said, swatting at her arm. ~ Rachel Hawkins
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Rachel Hawkins
I love good rock'n'roll, blues and jazz, gospel, and a little reggae. ~ Jerry Hall
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Jerry Hall
Who am I?" She whispered. Alex opened his mouth as if to correct her, but then he said, "You are my love. ~ Deirdre Riordan Hall
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Deirdre Riordan Hall
She puts her hand forward. "Come on, let's do a yay team!"
Blake immediately puts her hand on top of Nia's.
"I'm not doing that," I say.
"Wolfie, do not deny us this simple pleasure. C'mon."
I roll my eyes and put my hand on top of theirs.
"Yay team!" Squeals Blake. And she's supposed to be the sensible one. ~ Leanne Hall
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Leanne Hall
See that you mind your manners, that's all. No gentleman will buy the cow when he knows he can get the milk for nothing." Lily managed not to roll her eyes until she'd turned her back on Mrs. McAllister and stepped into the hall again. Caleb had come right out and admitted that he had no intention of "buying the cow" - he only wanted to rent it. Lily ~ Linda Lael Miller
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Linda Lael Miller
Jane and Mr. Nobley entered the great hall, the ceiling dazzling with thousands of real candles that put fire into the white dresses and cravats. Five musicians were seated on a dais--a cello and two violins (or maybe a viola?), a harpsichord, and some kind of wind instrument. From keys and strings, they coaxed a grand prelude to the minuet. Jane looked at everything, smiling at the amusement park novelty of it all. She looked at Mr. Nobley. He was beaming at her. At last.
"You are stunning," he said, and every inch of him seemed to swear that it was true.
"Oh," she said.
He kissed her gloved fingers. He was still smiling. There was something different about him tonight, and she couldn't place what it was. Some new plot twist, she presumed. She was eager to roll around in all the plot she could on her last night, though once or twice her eyes strayed to spot Martin.
Mr. Nobley stood opposite her in a line of ten men. She watched Amelia and Captain East perform the figures. They held each other's gazes, they smiled with the elation of new love. All very convincing.
Poor Amelia, thought Jane.
It was a bit cruel, now that she thought about it, all these actors who made women fall in love with them. Amelia seemed so tenderhearted, and Miss Charming and her heaving breasts so delighted with this world. Jane caught sight of a very striking Colonel Andrews who, now that she watched him dance, might just be gay.
Jane felt a thrumming of foreboding. ~ Shannon Hale
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Shannon Hale
He raised his staff. There was a roll of thunder. The sunlight was blotted out from the eastern windows; the whole hall became suddenly dark as night. The fire faded to sullen embers. Only Gandalf could be seen, standing white and tall before the blackened hearth. ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien
mad maddie: i am SOOOO pissed. SnowAngel: oh no. why? mad maddie: one word. well, two. JANA WHITAKER. SnowAngel: the queen bee of our entire class? *gasps* what'd she do this time? mad maddie: i hate her. she's evil. SnowAngel: i KNOW that.

SnowAngel: yr name IS madigan. mad maddie: which jana totally knows! SnowAngel: so what's the problem? mad maddie: r u serious?!! mad maddie: it was the way she said it, like she was honestly confused. like, "oh my goodness, i THINK i know u, don't i?" WHEN WE'VE GONE TO SCHOOL TOGETHER SINCE 7th GRADE!!! ~ Lauren Myracle
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Lauren Myracle
Where would rock and roll be without feedback? ~ David Gilmour
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by David Gilmour
I was a starter and did some good things there, and then I got a chance to prove myself as a closer. Because of that opportunity, I was blessed with the honor of being elected to the Hall of Fame. ~ Dennis Eckersley
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Dennis Eckersley
What has Rock and Roll ever done for us? Everything. ~ Stevie Nicks
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Stevie Nicks
Because the blues is the basis of most American music in the 20th century. It's a 12-bar form that's played by jazz, bluegrass and country musicians. It has a rhythmic vocabulary that's been used by rock n' roll. It's related to spirituals, and even the American fiddle tradition. ~ Wynton Marsalis
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Wynton Marsalis
I've always played every amp I've ever had full up, because rock and roll is supposed to be played loud. Also, that's how you get your sustain. ~ Ritchie Blackmore
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Ritchie Blackmore
I never wanted to be in a band because I love music too much to mess it up. ~ Elijah Wood
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Elijah Wood
Rock and roll might be summed up as monotony tinged with hysteria. ~ Vance Packard
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Vance Packard
I think what I'm going to do is get more balance in my life to still be able to go out and play the hard rock 'n' roll and do what I like to do in music. ~ Joan Jett
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Joan Jett
Everybody has that point in their life where you hit a crossroads and you've had a bunch of bad days and there's different ways you can deal with it and the way I dealt with it was I just turned completely to music. ~ Taylor Swift
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Taylor Swift
The world is full of bands and bullshit, and if I'm doing a stupid art project like rock 'n' roll then I want to spare my audience as much as possible. ~ Ariel Pink
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Ariel Pink
Regarding the Hall of Fame, when they decided I was going to be one of the possible candidates, when I heard that, I was so thrilled. You're always hoping for something like that. ~ Gabriela Sabatini
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Gabriela Sabatini
I don't really inject the rock 'n' roll thing, what I take from rock 'n' roll is probably the melodies and the musical behind it. ~ Cedric Gervais
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Cedric Gervais
When you start a rock n' roll band, you've gotta fake it till you make it. You begin by doin' what you love- and what you love is usually what some other people have already done. It just depends on how much of a fool you make of yourself along the way to finding your own sound, assuming you find it. ~ Steven Tyler
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Steven Tyler
The Musicians Hall of Fame is chosen by thousands of your peers. So it's the real thing. ~ Dick Dale
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Dick Dale
I loved being a rock and roll star, but it wasn't what I wanted in life. ~ Patti Smith
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Patti Smith
You must prepare yourselves, young people, because Uncle Dave's generation is getting old. We are almost ready to go to the retirement home to spend the rest of our days tapping our bedpans rhythmically in time to "easy listening" rock 'n' roll. We must pass the torch on to you, and you must grasp it, ideally by the end that is not on fire. ~ Dave Barry
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Dave Barry
My mother was the one who totally got behind me as far as, do things and ask questions later. My father would say, "I don't care how dirty you are up there, just be funny." Because they knew me offstage. They knew I was a good guy. They knew my whole plan of becoming the most exciting comedian, visually, ever. A real rock-and-roll stand-up comic. ~ Andrew Dice Clay
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Andrew Dice Clay
I come in with this rock 'n' roll-oriented music, and it's not black enough ... I've always had to deal with this black-white thing. ~ Lenny Kravitz
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Lenny Kravitz
A girl playing rock and roll, it's saying I own my sexuality and I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do. And I think people just find that threatening. ~ Joan Jett
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Joan Jett
Songwriting is an emotional medium, and rock and roll is an emotional medium. ~ Will Sheff
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Will Sheff
In "The Myth of Sisyphus", his most important non-fiction work, Albert Camus suggested that if we believed what most people claim to be the purpose of life, we would feel compelled to commit suicide. If, however, we accept that life has no purpose we would be inclined to soldier on in a cussed, stoical manner like Sisyphus, endlessly pushing his rock up a hill only to see it roll down again. ~ Philip French
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Philip French
A long long time ago, I can still remember how that music use to make me smile. ~ Don McLean
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Don McLean
Whatever adults don't understand, because they didn't grow up with it, is the thing they're going to be afraid of and try to legislate out of existence. It happened with videogames, it happened with television, it happened with pinball parlours and rock and roll. ~ Warren Spector
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Warren Spector
It's boring to be 70, I don't want to be there, I'll be dead and gone, I don't have any aspirations to be 70 ... ~ Freddie Mercury
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Freddie Mercury
The whole world loves American movies, blue jeans, jazz and rock and roll. It is probably a better way to get to know our country than by what politicians or airline commercials represent. ~ Billy Joel
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Billy Joel
Are you chuckling yet? Because then along came you. A big, broad meat eater with brash blond hair and ruddy skin that burns at the beach. A bundle of appetites. A full, boisterous guffaw; a man who tells knock know jokes. Hot dogs - not even East 86th Street bratwurst but mealy, greasy big guts that terrifying pink. Baseball. Gimme caps. Puns and blockbuster movies, raw tap water and six-packs. A fearless, trusting consumer who only reads labels to make sure there are plenty of additives. A fan of the open road with a passion for his pickup who thinks bicycles are for nerds. Fucks hard and talks dirty; a private though unapologetic taste for porn. Mysteries, thrillers, and science fiction; a subscription to National Geographic. Barbecues on the Fourth of July and intentions, in the fullness of time, to take up golf. Delights in crappy snack foods of ever description: Burgles. Curlies. Cheesies. Squigglies - you're laughing - but I don't eat them - anything that looks less like food than packing material and at least six degrees of separation from the farm. Bruce Springsteen, the early albums, cranked up high with the truck window down and your hair flying. Sings along, off-key - how is it possible that I should be endeared by such a tin ear?Beach Boys. Elvis - never lose your roots, did you, loved plain old rock and roll. Bombast. Though not impossibly stodgy; I remember, you took a shine to Pearl Jam, which was exactly when Kevin went off them...(sorry). It just had to be no ~ Lionel Shriver
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Lionel Shriver
If we were a rock 'n' roll band,
We'd travel all over the land.
We'd play and we'd sing and wear spangly things,
If we were a rock 'n' roll band.
If we were a rock 'n' roll band,
And we were up there on the stand,
The people would hear us and love us and cheer us,
Hurray for that rock 'n' roll band.
If we were a rock 'n' roll band
Then we'd have a million fans.
We'd goggle and laugh and sign autographs,
If we were a rock 'n' roll band.
If we were a rock 'n' roll band,
The people would all kiss our hands.
We'd be millionaires and have extra long hair,
If we were a rock 'n' roll band.
But we ain't no rock 'n' roll band,
We're just seven kids in the sand
With homemade guitars and pails and jars
And drums of potato chip cans.
Just seven kids in the sand,
Talkin' and wavin' our hands,
And dreamin' and thinkin' oh wouldn't it be grand,
If we were a rock 'n' roll band. ~ Shel Silverstein
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Shel Silverstein
You both love Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky, Hawthorne and Melville, Flaubert and Stendahl, but at that stage of your life you cannot stomach Henry James, while Gwyn argues that he is the giant of giants, the colossus who makes all other novelists look like pygmies. You are in complete harmony about the greatness of Kafka and Beckett, but when you tell her that Celine belongs in their company, she laughs at you and calls him a fascist maniac. Wallace Stevens yes, but next in line for you is William Carlos Williams, not T.S. Eliot, whose work Gwyn can recite from memory. You defend Keaton, she defends Chaplin, and while you both howl at the sight of the Marx Brothers, your much-adored W.C. Fields cannot coax a single smile from her. Truffaut at his best touches you both, but Gwyn finds Godard pretentious and you don't, and while she lauds Bergman and Antonioni as twin masters of the universe, you reluctantly tell her that you are bored by their films. No conflicts about classical music, with J.S. Bach at the top of the list, but you are becoming increasingly interested in jazz, while Gwyn still clings to the frenzy of rock and roll, which has stopped saying much of anything to you. She likes to dance, and you don't. She laughs more than you do and smokes less. She is a freer, happier person than you are, and whenever you are with her, the world seems brighter and more welcoming, a place where your sullen, introverted self can almost begin to feel at home. ~ Paul Auster
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Paul Auster
When I started covering The Beatles and The Rolling Stones in a rock 'n' roll band, it helped me realize that my natural voice is actually really high. It helped me find my voice. ~ Gotye
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Gotye
Remember when you used to watch TV in the Sixties and you'd see Perry Como in a cashmere sweater? That's what rock 'n' roll is becoming. It's your parents' music. ~ Neil Young
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Neil Young
No matter what happens in the future, no matter where our paths take us, this moment will be ours. ~ Marie Lu
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Marie Lu
Get some sleep and dream of rock and roll. ~ Sammy Johns
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Sammy Johns
I always wanted to say I came out of the cornfields and got to the major leagues. That was my biggest thought. But now I can say I came out of the cornfields and got to the Hall of Fame. ~ Ray Dandridge
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Ray Dandridge
Find myself a rock and roll band, that needs a helping hand. ~ Rod Stewart
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Rod Stewart
Liverpool was an industrial town, a poor town. The people fought hard for what they wanted to achieve and there was a hunger there, and that hunger has remained with the musicians. ~ Pete Best
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Pete Best
This song ain't black or white and as far as I know it don't infringe on anyone's copyright. ~ George Harrison
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by George Harrison
If you get earaches, I'd turn my volume down a notch or two for you. Cause I will do anything for you. ~ Alice Cooper
Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame quotes by Alice Cooper
