“A lot of people call me the architect of rock & roll. I don't call myself that, but I believe it's true.”

“When you sit down and think about what rock 'n' roll music really is, then you have to change that question. Played up-tempo, you call it rock 'n' roll; at a regular tempo, you call it rhythm and blues.”

“And I don't get down on nobody else for doing whatever else they do. To each his own.”

Its modest ashen-gray suit is the color of the rocks where it builds, and the moss of which it makes such free use gives to its nest the look of a natural growth or accretion.”
