""""It's like a drive, and it burns, and it burns, and it burns, and that sounds like kind of a romantic idea, until you realize, what's keeping the fire alive, are bodies."- Pete Townshend

"Rock n' roll has always thrived on people not necessarily, willfully, throwing things into the mix, but stumbling on things, crossing over short circuits, and misconnections. And the people that have the type of spandex pants, or their just so. And the guitar at the right angle aren't it at all. The cigarette coming out of their lip like this. Cause it's a facsimile that proves it of rock n' roll doesn't make it rock n' roll forever...It's somebody in a bedroom somewhere doing something you haven't heard yet, with any luck." -Elvis Costello

"I think rock n' roll  exists to deliver this truth that needs to be  constantly delivered. Rock, hip-hop, whatever you call it. It reminds us this unspoken message. That it is fun to be alive. It's a helluva lot better than being dead."- Joe Strummer

"I think my whole life was saved, and opened up, and made into a real life by my favorite singers, by Johnny Cash, Muddy Waters, The Rolling  Stones, The Beatles. I'm gonna forget so many people, John Lee Hooker. I'll forget a lot of people, but yes, by the stuff that went before."- Iggy Pop
