Everywhere you go, there's a soundtrack. You can't really quite hear it. It's just a little out of the range of hearing.

I think if the United States gave anything to culture at large in the 20th century, the most important contribution made was the popular song.
Linda Ronstadt

I never went to the Beatles' concerts to scream. I never screamed at anybody's show. I was on my feet with the entire, all of the crowned heads of Motown, and we were shrieking our guts out.

I thought everybody could sing, because everybody in my family could.

The essential elements of singing are voice, musicianship, and story. It is the rare artist that has all three in abundance.

I get on the airplane and there's a screen in front of everything. You get into a taxicab in New York, there's a screen blinking at you. I think it's going to have a tremendous effect on our brains, because those bright, saturated colors and those strong lines, they do things to your brain.
