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.
Meat Loaf

Rock n' roll is dream soup, what's your brand?
Patti Smith

Rock'n'roll has to be destroyed and rebuilt in my name if it's ever gonna accomplish anything.
GG Allin

Rock'n'roll saved my soul.

Roger. Clear the tower. I got a pitch and a roll program, and this baby's really going.
Pete Conrad

Roll on, deep and dark blue ocean, roll. Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain. Man marks the earth with ruin, but his control stops with the shore.
Lord Byron

See, to me, rock'n'roll doesn't have any point. It's just fun. It has a million different angles and they're all valid. But I think rock might be a world issue.
Evan Dando

Sex and drugs and rock and roll.
Ian Dury

So I will go as far as I can into rock and roll carrying my Christian banner.
Cliff Richard

So we got there at 6 a.m. We'd be shooting by 6:45. We wouldn't break for lunch, we'd just pass food around all day. And we would just rock and roll 'til 4, then Matty Libatique, our great cinematographer, would say, "Outta light, guys" - and that was it.
Joel Schumacher

So yeah, I play the piano for most of the show, but I like rock and roll.

Some ideas you have to chew on, then roll them around a lot, play with them before you can turn them into funky science fiction.
Rudy Rucker

Some people come to our shows and think they're gonna spend the night just listening to love songs, and they're pretty much surprised cause we do a lot of rock and roll.
Bobby Hatfield

Sports is like rock 'n' roll. Both are dominant cultural forces, both speak an international language, and both are all about emotions.
Phil Knight

Survivor is like rock 'n' roll - you can do what you want.
Jeff Probst

That was our first major tour and we got a chance to play in front of like 5000 people every day so it was like a Rock and Roll boot camp for us really, we learned a lot and made a lot of good friends.
Adam Rich

That's my gift. I let that negativity roll off me like water off a duck's back. If it's not positive, I didn't hear it. If you can overcome that, fights are easy.
George Foreman

That's what Kiss is all about - not just music, but entertainment, y'know? We're there to take you away from your problems, and rock and roll all night and party every day for those two hours you're at the concert.
Ace Frehley

The '60s are gone, dope will never be as cheap, sex never as free, and the rock and roll never as great.
Abbie Hoffman

The biggest problem in rock journalism is that often the writer's main motivation is to become friends with the band. They're not really journalists; they're people who want to be involved in rock and roll.
Chuck Klosterman
