It's time for our business and political leaders to help redefine morality beyond sex, drugs, and rock and roll to include lying, hypocrisy, and callous indifference to those in need. ~ Arianna Huffington
Rock And Roll quotes by Arianna Huffington
If you were to ask me, 'What the hell does a musician have in common with a restaurant?' I would say a huge amount. It's show time every day, it's a team of people, like, running a circus, which is running a rock-and-roll band. ~ Mick Fleetwood
Rock And Roll quotes by Mick Fleetwood
A more important reason is that the bands will intuitively trust someone they think is a peer, and who speaks fondly of the same formative rock and roll experiences. ~ Steve Albini
Rock And Roll quotes by Steve Albini
Rock and roll is a music, and why should a music contribute to ... juvenile delinquency? If people are going to be juvenile delinquents, they're going to be delinquents if they hear ... Mother Goose rhymes. ~ Elvis Presley
Rock And Roll quotes by Elvis Presley
Say what you want about fairies, but you haven't rocked out until you've heard Smoke on the Water played on a harpsichord. ~Harlow ~ Red Tash
Rock And Roll quotes by Red Tash
I don't want to see old people doing rap or rock and roll. It makes me cringe. ~ Grace Slick
Rock And Roll quotes by Grace Slick
All the women in the world want a phony rock star who plays guitar. ~ John Mellencamp
Rock And Roll quotes by John Mellencamp
I'm a rock-and-roll drummer, so my job is to create chaos. ~ Greg Saunier
Rock And Roll quotes by Greg Saunier
The nose can't help catchin' what the ears get sick with. Yessir, rock bands just sweat evil. Evil's been around for a long time, ever since rocks started getting real hot and making a lot of noise as they exploded out o' the ground and evil spirits wisped out of hell. If a band ever uses a fog machine, hold your breath so you don't become possessed by one. ~ M.C. Humphreys
Rock And Roll quotes by M.C. Humphreys
I definitely got to a point where I realize how unusual it is to be able to play large, sold-out shows 30 years into a rock and roll career. I don't take it for granted. ~ Adam Clayton
Rock And Roll quotes by Adam Clayton
I haven't heard anything new that I've liked on the show. A lot of the bands we play with are just bad, especially those alternative rock bands. They can do it in the studio but they can't play live... I see the audience applauding while they're playing, and I wonder if it's just because they're fans of the band and don't care, or out of spite. Because it certainly isn't because they sound good.

Branford Marsalis on the musical acts booked on The Tonight Show. ~ Branford Marsalis
Rock And Roll quotes by Branford Marsalis
Rock and roll cola wars, I can't take it any more. ~ Billy Joel
Rock And Roll quotes by Billy Joel
The problem for me, still today, is that I write purely with one dramatic structure and that is the rite of passage. I'm not really skilled in any other. Rock and roll itself can be described as music to accompany the rite of passage. ~ Pete Townshend
Rock And Roll quotes by Pete Townshend
Rock and roll never sleeps. It just passes out. ~ George Thorogood
Rock And Roll quotes by George Thorogood
Quentin flicked a quick glance back at her again. Poppy. This girl had the wrong name. She should have been Rose. Great face, lots of prickles. ~ Ros Baxter
Rock And Roll quotes by Ros Baxter
I grew up in the funk, rock and roll, blues and r&b tradition, and I came to this thing we call jazz later. And I came to improvise music from the standpoint of jazz; I was improvising, but within these other genres of music. ~ Hamid Drake
Rock And Roll quotes by Hamid Drake
If it's illegal to rock and roll, then throw my ass in jail. ~ Kurt Cobain
Rock And Roll quotes by Kurt Cobain
Speaking of people I had to exclude: Hank Williams. which is to say, songs are part of lyric poetry in my book, my thinking. In fact they are the urgent element of poetry in our time, they carry the most emotion for the most people in our culture. everyone LOVES poetry, because we all love (one form or another) of rock and roll (be it folk to emo to rap). It's all rock and roll and all lyric poetry. ~ Gregory Orr
Rock And Roll quotes by Gregory Orr
We just get up there and play rock-and-roll music, man. Everybody sweats and has a good time. ~ Bobby Keys
Rock And Roll quotes by Bobby Keys
We may be finished with the past but the past is not finished with us. ~ Donald Riggio
Rock And Roll quotes by Donald Riggio
I know what that tastes like, to be a rock-and-roll star - to have a limousine, to have girls screaming when they see you, girls trying to cut my hair, get a piece of me. But I don't walk around with a concept of myself as a rock-and-roll star, and certainly not as a musician, because I really can't play anything, except primitively. ~ Patti Smith
Rock And Roll quotes by Patti Smith
Chocolate thickens the saliva, which isn't good news if you've gotta recite Shakespeare or sing Iron Man. Having said that, you're not supposed to drink tea either but I still do before gigs. It's not very rock and roll, but it's like a magic potion to me. ~ Ozzy Osbourne
Rock And Roll quotes by Ozzy Osbourne
My dad is a huge rock and roll lead guitar fan. I didn't even really know that until recently. Everything has to have a guitar solo in it. ~ Slash
Rock And Roll quotes by Slash
I go away for a few years and the whole fucking world is upside down Jules said angrily. Buildings are missing. You get strip-searched every time you go to someone's office. Everybody sounds stoned because they're emailing people the whole time they're talking to you. Tom and Nicole are with different people ... And now my rock-and-roll sister and her husband are hanging around with Republicans. What the fuck - Jules Jones ~ Jennifer Egan
Rock And Roll quotes by Jennifer Egan
Leaders can change the tenor of the workplace and create harmony in motion toward a favorable result. So every time you say to your team, "Let's rock and roll," make sure you have already set up the stage to where they can actually perform like rock stars. ~ Thomas Huynh
Rock And Roll quotes by Thomas Huynh
Where is this great love for rock and roll that existed for 50 or 60 years? ~ Billy Corgan
Rock And Roll quotes by Billy Corgan
What would rock and roll be without ambition, craziness, danger, and fun? ~ Pete Wentz
Rock And Roll quotes by Pete Wentz
The whole idea of rock and roll lifestyle is a cartoon. It's a caricature. And at times, it's made up of people emulating others; a few who actually live that lifestyle and many who claim to live that lifestyle. ~ Paul Stanley
Rock And Roll quotes by Paul Stanley
Jazz, rock and roll, movies and comics are the culture of America. ~ Bill Griffith
Rock And Roll quotes by Bill Griffith
It's only rock and roll, my god! It's not rocket science. ~ Steven Adler
Rock And Roll quotes by Steven Adler
Rock and roll came into my life when I was about 12, 13, when Little Richard and Chuck Berry had just started hitting the shores of England. ~ Joe Cocker
Rock And Roll quotes by Joe Cocker
I'm glad to see that the crusading spirit of your forebears hasn't been entirely obliterated by rock and roll. ~ Ken Follett
Rock And Roll quotes by Ken Follett
Most people are living lives of sort of survival. And constantly posing an existential crisis, either through fantasy or oblivion, really has been pretty much explored in rock and roll. At least in the western version of rock n' roll. ~ Billy Corgan
Rock And Roll quotes by Billy Corgan
When I was twelve, the biggest name in Rock and Roll was Elvis Presley. I bought an EP, "King Creole". I hid it in the basement, but my mother found it. ~ Klaus Nomi
Rock And Roll quotes by Klaus Nomi
Sex, dr... inking and rock'n'roll. ~ Bryanna Reid
Rock And Roll quotes by Bryanna Reid
Every time you read something about Rolling Stones it always mentions their age and how long can they go on? I think there are certain genres of music where people are allowed to go on, but there is something about rock and roll, I guess because it originally started out to be a teenage rebellion. ~ Kate Pierson
Rock And Roll quotes by Kate Pierson
I played Big Band jazz music. I wasn't into rock and roll. I was just there because it was a living. I surprised everyone. I'm still surprising people. ~ Bobby Vinton
Rock And Roll quotes by Bobby Vinton
Disquiet and desire. What you want and what you're scared to try for. Where you've been and where you want to go. Something in a rock-and-roll song about wanting the girl, the car, the place to stand and be. Oh please God can you dig it. ~ Stephen King
Rock And Roll quotes by Stephen King
Rocket Fever Grips Nation's Teenagers' cheers on enthusiastic newsreel, reflecting the nation's sudden reversal in attitude following the successful launch of Explorer-I into Earth orbit. Rather than being strange and threatening, outer space looks set to become the next big distraction after Elvis Presley and Davy Crockett hats. 'More and more teenagers are passing up rock and roll for a rocket role,' commentator Michael Fitzmaurice blithely remarks before very probably wishing he hadn't. ~ Ken Hollings
Rock And Roll quotes by Ken Hollings
Presley brought an excitement to singing, in part because rock and roll was greeted as his invention, but for other reasons not so widely reflected on: Elvis Presley had the most beautiful singing voice of any human being on earth. ~ William F. Buckley, Jr.
Rock And Roll quotes by William F. Buckley, Jr.
The young people have MTV and rock and roll. Why would they go to read poetry? Poetry belongs to the Stone Age. It awakens in us perceptions that go back to those times. ~ Robert Morgan
Rock And Roll quotes by Robert Morgan
I think the idea of crossing over is the ultimate expression of being ... Maybe it's time to play rock and roll on disco ... maybe it's time to play heavy metal on R & B, things like that. Certainly culminating on things like Aerosmith doing the rap thing with Run DMC, which if they hadn't done that, or if Eddie hadn't played with Michael Jackson, or if I hadn't done "Hot Stuff", people would have said "You can't do that" ~ Jeff Baxter
Rock And Roll quotes by Jeff Baxter
Violence existed before our music was even suggested. ~ Big Pun
Rock And Roll quotes by Big Pun
Rock and roll stars have it much better than writers when they're on a tour. ~ Neil Gaiman
Rock And Roll quotes by Neil Gaiman
I think the things that I enjoy most about directing theater, or works that are really visceral in terms of comedy and have a sort of rock and roll aesthetic. ~ Alex Timbers
Rock And Roll quotes by Alex Timbers
He shook his head at her question. Did women really think men cared about that stuff? Did he care if she did this all the time? Definitely, definitely not. He could honestly say he did not give a flying fuck whether this girl dragged guys home every other day to have her way with them for seven hours. He was just glad as hell she'd decided to do it with him. Today. And hopefully maybe again. Sometime. ~ Ros Baxter
Rock And Roll quotes by Ros Baxter
There's always a spattering of people who see Hanson who were influenced by classic '60's and '70's rock and roll. In a lot of ways, we're sort of the anatomy of a '70's rock band if you examine what we do: white guys who grew up listening to soul music from the '50's and '60's. ~ Taylor Hanson
Rock And Roll quotes by Taylor Hanson
What has Rock and Roll ever done for us? Everything. ~ Stevie Nicks
Rock And Roll quotes by Stevie Nicks
This is serious business, sex, violence, and rock and roll. ~ John Mellencamp
Rock And Roll quotes by John Mellencamp
On January 28th, 1982, I wrote in my diary, "Rock and roll is a king-sized version of jazzy, puck, swing, and be-bop. I don't want that. However, rhythmic beat's fine. ~ Rebecca Rose Orton
Rock And Roll quotes by Rebecca Rose Orton
To drive a car in rural America is freedom. Before I had a car, I'd never seen a rock and roll show, I'd never seen a comic or a show. ~ Penn Jillette
Rock And Roll quotes by Penn Jillette
Yakety Yak. The Coasters. 1958 Spark Records. One minute and fifty seconds of sublime, in-your-face, balls-out nonsense. Everything rock and roll was meant to be. ~ Tristan Egolf
Rock And Roll quotes by Tristan Egolf
In 1905 Albert discovered Relativity, in 1906 he invented Rock and Roll. ~ Yahoo Serious
Rock And Roll quotes by Yahoo Serious
Cats on the bandstand, give them each a big hand, anyone who sweats like that must be all right. ~ Jerry Garcia
Rock And Roll quotes by Jerry Garcia
Enjoy music. Not the kind that rocks and rolls, but the music of the masters, the music that has lived through the centuries, the music that has lifted people. If you do not have a taste for it, listen to it thoughtfully. If you do not like it the first time, listen to it again and keep listening. ~ Gordon B. Hinckley
Rock And Roll quotes by Gordon B. Hinckley
They are treading water in a sea of retarded sexuality and bad poetry. ~ Karl French
Rock And Roll quotes by Karl French
Frank [Zappa]'s music was never for the mass audience. His music contains specific kinds of information that you won't find elsewhere in rock and roll. ~ Gail Zappa
Rock And Roll quotes by Gail Zappa
I think hip-hop has more to do with rock and roll. Kanye West is, in many ways, a rock artist. ~ Ian Astbury
Rock And Roll quotes by Ian Astbury
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 quotes by Paul Stanley
When you look at me, tease my desire with a mere gaze, it shreds the edges of my soul… ~ Yvonne Nicolas
Rock And Roll quotes by Yvonne Nicolas
I like rock and roll t-shirts, tight jeans, and sneakers or boots. Really just laid back, sort of rock and roll. I'm a sneaker person. I don't really like to wear high heels. I'm always really paranoid when I'm on stage playing guitar that I'm going to trip over one of the cords when I'm prancing around so I have on wedges or shoes that are not too high. ~ Orianthi
Rock And Roll quotes by Orianthi
You can't kill rock and roll without a silver bullet because she's a werewolf. ~ Anthony Langston
Rock And Roll quotes by Anthony Langston
Strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words, killing me softly with his song. ~ Roberta Flack
Rock And Roll quotes by Roberta Flack
Poppy Devine did not deserve cancer. Poppy was sweet and industrious and careful and measured and always, always did the right thing. If anyone deserved cancer it was Julia. Julia was loud and opinionated and disagreeable. Rude, some might even say. She went out with bad men, took unnecessary risks, pushed people to their limits, swore like a sailor and flipped the bird more than any female in the history of the world.
It should be her number coming up in the cancer lottery. ~ Amy Andrews
Rock And Roll quotes by Amy Andrews
But I still think that's a pretty fine age. Maybe the best age. You can rock and roll all night, but when the music dies out and the beer wears off, you're able to think. And dream big dreams. The mean Patrol Boy cuts you down to size eventually, and if you start out small, why, there's almost nothing left but the cuffs of your pants when he's done with you. ~ Stephen King
Rock And Roll quotes by Stephen King
To some extent at that time, we injected rock and roll into that scene- we played loud and that was a huge turning point for that scene. We were involved in playing with all those people. ~ Arto Lindsay
Rock And Roll quotes by Arto Lindsay
Let the music keep our spirits high, let the buildings keep our children dry, let creation reveal its secrets by and bye. ~ Jackson Browne
Rock And Roll quotes by Jackson Browne
Nashville may be famed for its country music, but this may well be the capital of rock and roll music in the United States of America. ~ Paul Stanley
Rock And Roll quotes by Paul Stanley
New York was the inspiration for The Heart of Rock and Roll and Workin for a Livin. There are a lot of songs in the streets of New York. ~ Huey Lewis
Rock And Roll quotes by Huey Lewis
I like to rock and roll, but I'm a mushy guy, too. I want to be the guy that all the girls love and all the guys want to hang out with. ~ Kenny Chesney
Rock And Roll quotes by Kenny Chesney
After writing a song, there's first a feeling of elation followed by the sinking feeling that it will never happen again, and you go back to thinking that you can't do it. It creates an ongoing feeling of inadequacy. ~ Chrissie Hynde
Rock And Roll quotes by Chrissie Hynde
The rock and roll spirit. I learned a lot of that because I worked with Buddy Holly. I played bass with him, and he taught me a lot about that. ~ Waylon Jennings
Rock And Roll quotes by Waylon Jennings
Get some sleep and dream of rock and roll. ~ Sammy Johns
Rock And Roll quotes by Sammy Johns
I remember Mitch Miller saying every week, This rock and roll stuff will never last. But one doesn't like to bring that up to Mitch. ~ Rosemary Clooney
Rock And Roll quotes by Rosemary Clooney
I never wanted to be in a band because I love music too much to mess it up. ~ Elijah Wood
Rock And Roll quotes by Elijah Wood
I've always been a dreamer, have always believed
in the power of love and art and loud, life-affirming rock and roll, but, for the first time,
I'm starting to have doubts. Can a dream even exist in reality? Or does it turn to stone
the second it leaves your mind? ~ Pete Wentz
Rock And Roll quotes by Pete Wentz
I wanted to play rock and roll when I started playing. Nobody at that time ever thought about songwriting. You sang songs, that's all. You sang other people's songs. That's all there were. ~ Bruce Cockburn
Rock And Roll quotes by Bruce Cockburn
The new album is a childhood dream come true. Got to sing with Ronnie Spector, got to cover a bunch of songs that were influential in drawing a line between the punk form and original rock and roll. ~ Jerry Only
Rock And Roll quotes by Jerry Only
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 quotes by Alice Cooper
My existence is about making movies, so I've just got to rock and roll with the punches. You want to make movies on telephones, I'm there. ~ Abel Ferrara
Rock And Roll quotes by Abel Ferrara
You've always got to remember, rock and roll's never been about giving up. For me, for a lot of kids, it was a totally positive force ... not optimistic all the time, but positive. It was never
never
a bout surrender. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Rock And Roll quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Karl Agell sang for our Blind album which was our second best selling record. He's a great guy and as a matter of fact, before Mike, Woody and I really got going on touring on the old Animosity stuff, Karl & I did about a dozen shows performing the Blind album from start to finish. He's still a good friend of mine and is now in a band called Lead Foot that's more Rock and Roll but they're fantastic, kind of Thin Lizzy or MC5 sounding. ~ Reed Mullin
Rock And Roll quotes by Reed Mullin
I never thought a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland or anywhere else was a good idea. ~ Todd Rundgren
Rock And Roll quotes by Todd Rundgren
I just love to play rock and roll. I love to write songs all the time
about what's up on these streets. I write songs about people getting killed; I write songs about people getting beaten up; I write songsabout people getting taken to jail by the police; and I also write songs about love and happiness. ~ Wesley Willis
Rock And Roll quotes by Wesley Willis
Blood brothers in desperation
Oath of silence for the voice of a generation ~ Fall Out Boy
Rock And Roll quotes by Fall Out Boy
Foul smell of the things that we do to escape
There is no glamour in this. No rock and roll.
This is just endings. This is just grief. ~ Kate Tempest
Rock And Roll quotes by Kate Tempest
Those people out there like good music. They don't stop and ask themselves, 'Is it country or rock and roll?' If they like it, they will tell you. ~ Willie Nelson
Rock And Roll quotes by Willie Nelson
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 quotes by Ted Nugent
People hear a powerful female singer in a rock and roll band, and they say, 'Janis Joplin.' I think people just make that comparison because it's easy. But I don't think I sound like her at all. ~ Brittany Howard
Rock And Roll quotes by Brittany Howard
The Telecaster doesn't really sound that good for the kind of rock and roll that a lot of people played. ~ John Fogerty
Rock And Roll quotes by John Fogerty
Sex, drugs, and rock and roll is all my brain and body need. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll is very good indeed. ~ Ian Dury
Rock And Roll quotes by Ian Dury
But as we all know, rock 'n' roll will never die, and education too, as Henry Adams always sez, keeps going on forever. ~ Thomas Pynchon
Rock And Roll quotes by Thomas Pynchon
I love old school rock and roll. ~ Don Lemon
Rock And Roll quotes by Don Lemon
If you want to be all like smart and adult about this shit then do the right thing. But if you want to do something fun and take a chance, then screw what anyone else thinks. Rock and roll, man! ~ Karina Halle
Rock And Roll quotes by Karina Halle
Well, all rock and roll is based in artifice. ~ Billy Corgan
Rock And Roll quotes by Billy Corgan
I've always wanted to do a movie that takes place in the 70's and was about rock and roll and getting high, like Dazed and Confused or Fast Times at Ridgemont High. ~ Edward Furlong
Rock And Roll quotes by Edward Furlong
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 quotes by Steven Adler
Rock music is important to people , because it allows them to escape this crazy world. It allows them not to run away from the problems that are there, but to face up to them , but at the same time sort of DANCE ALL OVER THEM. That's what rock and roll is about. ~ Pete Townshend
Rock And Roll quotes by Pete Townshend
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 quotes by George Harrison
(I invented rock and roll. You wouldn't believe the things I've invented. Anal sex, obviously. Smoking. Astrology. Money ... Let's save time: Everything in the world that distracts you from thinking about God. Which ... pretty much ... is everything in the world, isn't it? Gosh.) ~ Glen Duncan
Rock And Roll quotes by Glen Duncan
