I'll never be Bob Dylan. He's the master.
Hey, hey, my, my, rock and roll will never die.
I don't look at a knife the way I used to. I'm more aware of what it is. I think twice. This is a key finger. It's in every chord.
The '60s was one of the first times the power of music was used by a generation to bind them together.
There is a town in north Ontario, With dream comfort memory to spare, And in my mind I still need a place to go, All my changes were there. Blue, blue windows behind the stars, Yellow moon on the rise, Big birds flying across the sky, Throwing shadows on our eyes.
A lot of people that buy vinyl today don’t realise that they’re listening to CD masters on vinyl and that’s because the record companies have figured out that people want vinyl, And they're only making CD masters in digital, so all the new products that come out on vinyl are actually CDs on vinyl, which is really nothing but a fashion statement.

I just want to play well, share the stage with my friends, let this music have us.
You can see the hood ornament on the car if you go to the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. But if you want to look at the engine and see what's making it go, then you go to the Musicians Hall of Fame & Museum.
I never believed in much, but I believed in you
I ran into the preacher, said God was on my side, then I ran into the hangman.
Earth is a flower and it's pollinating.
