Rock music should be gross: that's the fun of it. It gets up and drops its trousers.

Rock musicians, and a vast array of popular-music musicians, due to their wealth, acquired through the mass of their notoriety, are able to be listened to and heard and thus are able to effect change on an international level.
‐‐ Bill Dixon
Rock 'n' roll accepted me and paid me, even though I loved the big bands... I went that way because I wanted a home of my own. I had a family. I had to raise them. Let's don't leave out the economics. No way.
‐‐ Chuck Berry
'Rock n' Roll Animal,' the live album, is one of the greatest live albums out there. It was a huge influence on me.

Rock n' roll as a genre is different from pop and hip hop: it is about bands, and that for me suggests brotherhood, family, friendship and community.
‐‐ Steven Van Zandt
Rock 'n' roll... but I also like sporting events a lot. I love Mike Piazza.
‐‐ Angie Everhart
Rock n' Roll came from the slaves singing gospel in the fields. Their lives were hell and they used music to lift out of it, to take them away. That's what rock n' roll should do - take you to a better place.

Rock n' roll is our religion, and we will continue to lose disciples as we go, but we pick up the fallen flag and keep moving forward, bringing forth the good news that our heroes have helped create, their bodies lost, but their spirits and their good work everlasting.
‐‐ Steven Van Zandt
Rock 'n' roll is ridiculous. It's absurd. In the past, U2 was trying to duck that. Now we're wrapping our arms around it and giving it a great big kiss.
‐‐ Bono
Rock n' roll is very special to me. It's my lifeblood.
‐‐ Joey Ramone
Rock n' roll! It's the music of puberty.
‐‐ Suzi Quatro
Rock n' roll means so much more to people; it enriches the culture. Also, it inspires people; there's no half-feeling. When I first got into it, I was inspired by people who had come before me, and I found myself in the position of handing that on.

Rock 'n' roll music is what gets me off.

Rock 'n' Roll, no roses or gardening.

Rock n' roll was a kid when I was a kid.
‐‐ Salman Rushdie
Rock n' roll was one thing, and then they chopped off the 'roll' and called it 'rock,' which became a sort of umbrella term for anything with a guitar in it. Like hair bands. How could we possibly believe that? It's just gotten downright silly, to the point where now it's sort of become like professional wrestling.
‐‐ Tom Petty
Rock 'n' roll was two pegs below being a prisoner of war back then.
‐‐ Ronnie Hawkins
Rock never meant the same thing to everyone, but when I was growing up in the late seventies, everyone could identify the five, ten bands that formed the center.

‐‐ Kip Winger
Rock stardom will die because nobody will make enough money any more to be rock stars.
‐‐ Noel Gallagher
Rock stars are good at making noise.
‐‐ Bono
Rock stars generally don't last in the Senate, starting with John Kennedy. Too much work, too slow, too little juice. Getting something accomplished takes a remarkable amount of tedious work. Rock stars who become senators either run for something else or retire on the job. They certainly don't make a mark.

Rock stars get room keys, I get business cards.

Rock stars get room keys, I get business cards. Wherever I go I meet innovators of wind power equipment, solar energy operators.
