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 Picture Quote #1

Rock music had become my religion. Radio my church. And these DJs my priests, rabbis and gurus Picture Quote #1

The quality of our lives is diminished every time we lose a great artist. It’s a different world without Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Curtis Mayfield, Brian Jones and the rest Picture Quote #1

You have to love what you’re doing in order to find the energy Picture Quote #1

You gotta love everything you do. You just gotta do it Picture Quote #1

Half of the acting I do is actually done by the hair Picture Quote #1

The quality of our lives is diminished every time we lose a great artist Picture Quote #1

We’re a little lazy about spirituality in this country Picture Quote #1
