Buddy Holly and the early rock ‘n’ roll was no lighter than the way I play. It’s very minimal. – Joni Mitchell
I don’t think there’s any such thing as rock n’ roll anymore – it’s an amalgamation of business interests. – John Lydon
The Beatles never sounded intimidated by their idols. They never interpreted old rock; they simply played it as well and as joyfully as they knew how. On ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll,’ John Lennon does nothing but interpret old rock. – Jon Landau
I believe that the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin are two of the greatest rock bands ever! – Jesse Ventura
When I was a teenager, I went to Europe on a backpacking trip by myself, and I met a woman who was following Sebadoh. It was the early 1990s, and that was my introduction to indie rock. – Jenny Lewis
The Rolling Stones are constantly changing, but beneath the changes they remain the most formal of rock bands. Their successive releases have been continuous extensions of their approach, not radical redefinitions, as has so often been the case with the Beatles. – Jon Landau
Just like I have my critics, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has critics, and I was one of the biggest ‘Hey man, you’re never here’ guys around, but not anymore. He’s completely committed to WWE. – John Cena
We sing in English, not mimicking some American rock singer’s accent. That’s just pretending to be something you ain’t. – Joe Strummer
Bruce Springsteen’s a rock star. Elton John is a rock star. I’m a folk musician. Honestly, I think that’s true. – James Taylor
I’m inspired by the words: ‘electrifying’, ‘epic’, ‘minimalistic’, ‘transcendent’, ‘timeless’ and ‘rock n’ roll.’ – Janelle Monae
I build on Christ, the rock of ages; on his sure mercies described in his word, and on his promises, all which I know are yea and amen. – John Wesley
Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue with that; I’m right and I will be proved right. We’re more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first – rock and roll or Christianity. – John Lennon
Mitt Romney – he had a Rock Hudson thing going, shoeblack hair and a well-hung resume, but even for a shameless, position-shifting phony he seemed a trifle insincere. – James Wolcott
My guitar is a mutation between a classic Fender Stratocaster guitar, which I played for years, and a Gibson solid-body like an SG or a Les Paul. It contains all sounds of the basic classic rock n’ roll guitars. It does what I want it to do. – Jerry Garcia
I grew up listening to everything. And rock and roll has always been a big, big part of it – as big a part of what I do as any other type of music. – Jason Aldean
Rock music is electronic music, dependent entirely on electronic circuitry and amplification. – John Frusciante
If I could do theater during the hiatus and then do ’30 Rock’ in the winter, that would be my ideal job. – Jane Krakowski
