I can't even speak Hawaiian, but if you go there and listen to a Hawaiian song, you get captured because it's so beautiful, like the melody is just gorgeous and you know Bob Marley is on the radio every single day. It's very reggae-influenced down there. Basically, you haven't been to paradise if you haven't been to Hawaii. Bruno Mars

Down, Been, Very

Beard, Civilization, Makes

Products are a must - full stop. I'm sorry to say it, but that bob won't look so sleek on its own - you need a little help. It doesn't have to be the high-end stuff that they sell in the salon. Products you find in the supermarket are just as good, and sometimes better. Beth Ditto

Sometimes, Own, High-End

Growing up, I was a little hippie kid. I went to some good concerts... Amnesty International with Bob Dylan and Tracy Chapman...

College, Chili, Some

Today, I'd like to talk to Bob Marley. I'd just like to ask him what was his method. Bob is one of the greatest songwriters ever.

Love, Behind, Songwriters

He listened to Grateful Dead and Rolling Stones, but he also listened to reggae music. And he collected vinyl. Talib Kweli

College, DJ, Grateful Dead

You're fat.' Like my butt was so big I could reach for my wallet over my shoulder. And I broke down. Michael Strahan

Reach, Brothers, Big

College, Always, Give

I'll never be the biggest kind of star; I'll be like Bob Duvall, respected as an actor but a lot of people can't identify the face. I don't have the personality of a big star, or the looks of a Mel Gibson or a Paul Newman, or the style of a George C. Scott. John Malkovich

Big, Paul Newman, Newman

People like Howlin' Wolf, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, John Lee Hooker, Nina Simone, Captain Beefheart - all of these artists were what I grew up listening to every day of my life. And there's a very healthy music scene in the west country of England, where I grew up. P. J. Harvey

My Life, Very, Music Scene

Fact, Maybe, TV

I love Willie Nelson's 'Phases And Stages'; there's so many songs from The Band and Bob Dylan that have gotten me through hard times, like 'Tears Of Rage.' I love Karen Dalton's 'In My Own Time' and Skip James. Margo Price

Love, Tears, Through

I'm glad I was born when I was. My time was the golden age of variety. If I were starting out again now, maybe things would happen for me, but it certainly would not be on a variety show with 28 musicians, 12 dancers, two major guest stars, 50 costumes a week by Bob Mackie. The networks just wouldn't spend the money today. Carol Burnett

Week, Dancers, Maybe

Love, Crosby, Costello

Music was so important to the culture when I was growing up in the Sixties and Seventies. We just expected that Bob Dylan was going to make a great record, and it was normal. It was like, 'Okay, here's another great record by Bob Dylan; here's another great record by Led Zeppelin.' John Mellencamp

Here, Led, Another

Concert, Maybe, Whole

Everybody, About, Antiwar
