Morgan Saylor

I'm trying to be more put-together. My closets are very messy. I like Rebecca Minkoff; her clothes are casual, but cool. I love Band of Outsiders. And ASOS makes a lot of good stuff. I can get lost on their website for hours. I don't like to spend a lot of money on clothes.

I named it that because more or less each person from the band used to play in other bands and when we left respective bands other members from those bands all sort of changed round. It was a big sort of move thing. I got it from that, I suppose.

I'm booked solid for this year, and I'll just be travelling and playing like always the rest of the year. I've turned down twenty-seven bluegrass festivals this year, and it's been standing room only everywhere we go. I can only speak for myself, but it's the best it's ever been for me. I've been blessed with a lot of good health. I get my rest and sit back a little. I think I've got one of the best, if not the best, bands I've ever had.

If there's beer flying at us, it's all good, brother. We started playing tiny redneck bars up in northern Canada where there's tons of beer flying and wire cage protecting the band and all sorts of stuff. So we're down with the party.

Clive Sinclair

I owe my discovery of the Hot Club of Cowtown to Kinky Friedman, leader of the Texas Jewboys. When I saw that Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys were headlining the 2003 Santa Clarita Cowboy Poetry and Music Festival, I thought it my duty to check out the band that had inspired the Texas Jewboys.

Danny Glover

I had a chance to meet members of the Count Basie Jazz Band when they came to Southwest to give a jazz clinic.

Robert Quine

I had a band in St. Louis. By then, things that influenced me were the first Stones albums, the first Byrds albums, later the Velvet Underground.

I like to do it just because I like to go to places that a lot of bands normally wouldn't go, because I think the kids are super appreciative of it, and I think it's just a nice feeling to go somewhere where they don't get a lot of cool rock shows. That's why we did that run, and I'm sure we'll do stuff like that again.

I really want to be able to show these kids what all the years of hard work and practice end up resulting in and what a professional jazz band is supposed to sound like. I would imagine the public would love to support music education because it is so vital to education in general.

I love playing with this band it feels new again. I love playing with Cinderella, but there's not new going on with them right now. We go on tour every other summer, make some money, have a blast, and it's great to get back with the guys again. But with Naked Beggars, for Eric and I, it's a chance to do new music, stuff we can write and record, and then take it to the road ourselves, and have fun.

Patti Smith

I love 'Soul Meets Body.' The one thing I can say for sure about DCFC: This band is going to be huge. This record has the kind of scope and breadth of a U2. This will be a platinum-selling record.

John Oates

I just like playing with the band and doing what I do.

Jim Adkins

I hear a lot of bands complain about touring, and it does get to be a bit emotionally draining. But you have to put it into context: It's just a bunch of shows.

Roger Lewis

I have to give Ibo (Cooper) his props, as a musician and the kind of musician who can lead a band or do anything musically. I can say that it was from him that I really learnt. Ibo was very disciplined, but moreover he knew the music. He had the training and was so able to teach many of us. He was fearless, because he knew the music. Musically, I must give him his props, big props.

Robby Krieger

I really hate it when I see other bands selling their music to commercials.

I don't really pretend to be the same person I was when I wrote the record. I don't think the band is the same, either.

Hines Ward

I don't know how (the Seahawks) can feel disrespected when everybody had them going to the Super Bowl, anyway. We feel like we're the underdog. Nobody was talking about us. For us to do what we have done, people want to jump on the bandwagon now.

I didn't think I was wasting my time. I thought I was in the right company. Those guys were so good. The more we played, the more it became obvious that we had something special. No other band was... I didn't think any other band was capable of what we were doing.

Sarah Vowell

It was such a great time for music. Being in college radio in the '80s, R.E.M. just happened, Elvis Costello was going strong. The biggest, most famous Seattle band was the Young Fresh Fellows. Our town was halfway between Seattle and Minneapolis on I-90, and so we got tons of shows just by virtue of being the gas-money stop on I-90.

Rob Sheffield

It was R.E.M. who showed other Eighties bands how to get away with ignoring the rules - they lived in some weird town nobody never heard of, they didn't play power chords, they probably couldn't even spell 'spandex.' All they had was songs.

It was a rocking show, the bands were awesome. We were expecting a good show and Saving Jane didn't prove us wrong.

It was a thin band of snow, and if you were under that band, you got pounded,

Ian Brown

It was in 1996, and we'd just gotten to the end of our thing. We'd been together for 10 years. You know, I did quit back in '93, but the band persuaded me to stay. So I wasted a couple of years hanging about for people when I should have pursued a solo career.

Clive Davis

It's a very special opportunity for us to work with a band that possesses such an historic legacy.
