A rock musician's career is short-lived. To extend it, you need to do other things to keep yourself fresh.
I write about nerds who go the extra mile and become rock stars.
I don't really get the same kinda romance that I would get from, like, jazz. And even to a lesser extent to rock 'n roll. Rock 'n roll has a romance to it - how can I put it? A very vulgar romance, but still a romance; whereas hip hop has more facade.
The Hall Of Fame thing, it's an American thing. We don't have that in England or Germany or Australia or Russia or anywhere in the world apart from America. And it's an institution. What's that got to do with rock and roll?
The only rock I know that stays steady, the only institution I know that works, is the family.
Actually, I hear a lot of rock music. My husband is a big rock fan.
I'm not going to be the rock star of the far right and frankly on the rock star of the far left.
Rock n' roll is for the young idiots, not an old fart like me.
Rock n' roll is not just a fashion statement; it is the attitude, and it has a political posturing as well.
Bringing people together is one of my favorite things... I believed that's what a rock 'n' roll Jesus would really do - bring people together through music.
When rock & roll is done with that fervor, it's close to gospel.
I discovered after going to music festivals that I am a rock fan. I love the guitars, the phrasing, and the abandon of rock fans.
Being a rock & roll star has become as legitimate a career option as being an astronaut or a policeman or a fireman.
We were the first generation of rock & roll, but life goes on.
I forever felt that I've fallen right between the crack of way too young for the first generation of classic rock 'n' roll and too old to be brand-new. It's hard.
I grew up on Raffi. That was my first impression of what a rock star was.
They'll see it. And it doesn't matter if they don't. It's only Rock 'n' Roll. But I do intend to move more into the Mainstream. Marilyn Manson is just the First phase.
I think rock & roll has prepared me for a lot of flexibility.
Pink Floyd, the most successful progressive rock band of all time, have stood the test of time because the emphasis was always on melody and atmosphere.
I was in a rock band; I was my own folk singer; I was in a death metal band for a very short time; I was in a cover band, a jazz band, a blues band. I was in a gospel choir.
