It's all rock and roll to me

With a little research (ok, not much, really) I came up with my top ten list of best rock and roll quotes. Drum roll, please...

10. A girl can't sing rock & roll too well. It's basically too savage. - Connie Francis
(I happen to agree with this; others may refute it, which is why it's at number ten.)

9. I sit and I write automatically. I don’t really try to write. My subconscious mind takes over and writes the songs for me. Songs come very easily for me. When I’m inspired, it takes me 20 minutes to write a song. - Brian Wilson

8. Rock and roll is commitment. Rock and roll is passion and spirit. - Mick Fleetwood

7. It used to be called boogie-woogie, it used to be called blues, used to be called rhythm and blues…It's called rock now. - Chuck Berry

6. We never said it was a utopia. Rock & roll is played on enemy ground. - Mick Jones

5. I always felt rock and roll was very, very wholesome music. - Aretha Franklin.
(that one just makes me giggle.)

4. We’re more popular than Jesus now. I don’t know which will go first—rock and roll or Christianity. - John Lennon

3. Music has to breathe and sweat. You have to play it live. - James Brown.

2. Videos destroyed the vitality of rock and roll. Before that, music said, "Listen to me." Now it says, "Look at me." - Billy Joel.
(who knew he had anything good to say?)

1. I like rock and roll, and I don't like much else. - John Lennon.
