rocks guitar bass
Now they have banging guitar and no bass and call it rock, but that's not what I call rock.
thinking enough enough-love
I also think that what's wrong with all of us is that we don't show enough love toward each other.
size ships wave
It's not the size of the ship; it's the size of the waves.
fame reason fortune
I got fame and fortune, and I lost my sense of reasoning.
queens kings rock-and-roll
Elvis may be the King of Rock and Roll, but I am the Queen.
block rocks devil
Rock 'n' roll doesn't glorify God. You can't drink out of God's cup and the devil's cup at the same time. I was one of the pioneers of that music, one of the builders. I know what the blocks are made of because I built them.
believe taken rocks
My true belief about Rock 'n' Roll--and there have been a lot of phrases attributed to me over the years--is this: I believe this kind of music is demonic. ... A lot of the beats in music today are taken from voodoo, from the voodoo drums. If you study music in rhythms, like I have, you'll see that is true. I believe that kind of music is driving people from Christ. It is contagious
fake-people believe cutting
And I'd like to give my love to everybody, and let them know that the grass may look greener on the other side, but believe me, it's just as hard to cut.
men greed today
But men are so full of greed today, they'll sell anything for a little piece of money.
player guitar rocks
I invented rock & roll. Jimi Hendrix was my guitar player. James Brown was my vocalist.

God gives us the ability, but rock 'n' roll was created by men.
kids rocks people
People called rock & roll 'African music.' They called it 'voodoo music.' They said that it would drive the kids insane. They said that it was just a flash in the pan - the same thing that they always used to say about hip-hop.
beautiful song crazy
I think people who don't believe in God are crazy. How can you say there is no God when you hear the birds singing these beautiful songs you didn't make?
rocks rock-n-roll architect
I am the innovator. I am the originator. I am the emancipator. I am the architect of rock 'n' roll!
