Where is this great love for rock and roll that existed for 50 or 60 years?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I talk about rock n' roll, to me, that goes back to the beginning of the 1950s. Blue suede shoes and sideburns, man. Pink and black coloured clothes. Turn your collar up, comb your hair in ducktails. And the music was cool. It was a whole culture then - a different world.
Rock and roll's relatively new, in the sense of the Fifties, Sixties, right? They invented the first sort of rock stars, and they took it to excess, and then the excess became bitter, tormented. Then it became okay to succeed.
Im more in love with Rock n Roll today than other things. It grows, you know?
The spirit of rock 'n' roll is alive and well. It kind of just needs to be cultivated a little bit.
Rock and roll is here to stay.
It was the early days of Rock 'n' Roll in this country. We were all struggling to learn music, it might be Country, Jazz, Classical, Blues or even Rock 'n' Roll.
I was born at the beginning of rock and roll. I got to experience the entire evolution of popular rock and roll music even before it started.
When people talk about the '60s I never think that was me there. It was me and I was in it, but I was never enamoured with all that. It's supposed to be sex and drugs and rock and roll and I'm not really like that. I've never really seen the Rolling Stones as anything.
Rock & roll has kept us alive for all these years. But we just love country music. It's in our blood.
We had a really vast music collection and I was raised around rock'n'roll, it's just the way it was.
