My father had a couple of Mitch Miller records and a Spike Jones record, and that was it. My older brother had two or three Elvis Presley singles, and that was about it. The rest of it I did on my own.

There is no doubt in my mind who is number one - I have always been number one.

Rounder Records decided to call the album Move It On Over, much to my chagrin but they knew what they were doing. It took off and to this day I can't figure out why.

The [2012 covers album] 2120 [South Michigan Ave.] was different. We covered a lot of classics there. But most of the time when we did it I always prided myself on digging up obscure songs that no one knew of.

I'm a [Bob] Dylan freak, like everybody else.
George Thorogood
As you get older the odds are against you that you are still going to be on the planet.
George Thorogood
I hate categories. Hank Williams is a great artist, period. Bob Dylan is a great artist, so is Marty Robbins. They just classify these people and put them in categories so they can sell the thing easier.
George Thorogood
On the day I was born, the nurses gathered around, to gaze in wide wonder at the joy they had found.
George Thorogood
How would you define [Bob] Dylan? You can't. That's a true artist. How about Ray Charles? Can you classify Ray Charles? No, you can't. He's just great, period.
George Thorogood
My parents taught me what life is about, so I grew up the type they warned me about.
George Thorogood
When people come to the show they think we are a legendary band because they hear us on Classic Rock radio all the time. It is psychological. That's okay - I'm down with that.
George Thorogood
Most of the time when we do a tune, Bad Blake, it's a tune no one's heard of to begin with.
