If you want to be a doctor, a lawyer you must go to college. But if you want to be a musician or such, study your craft. Study music.
This music has been around since before the beard on Moses. I happed to do it very well and I happen to have a lot of groovy songs that I know people are going to dig. I know more about it than you do.
Most people wouldn't know music if it came up and bit them on the ass.
Music is my second love.
And my career, the things that have happened have happened because of my music education background.
I want to be a little bit brave. I want to feel scared sometimes. That's what's going to change the music business, if we have that kind of attitude.
The piano is the X factor. People have a tough time following the structures when there's no piano there, spelling it out. It makes it more easily understood, particularly to people who don't know as much about music.
Music is the best means we have of digesting time.
I just try to approach and serve the music in the way that I think is right for the band I'm in at the time.
I don't know how to thank all the people listening to our music. It's so amazing to come home to my friends who resist conformity, because they're so happy that I've made it.
Mainly I was able to perform with music - I played the French horn, I would sing, and I was a drummer in the pipe band. So I think it was a way to show off.
My favorite type of music to sing to would be rock and roll, Tenacious D, Led Zeppelin, some Queen - I love all of them. I love singing to them because they're all just great voices. I love listening to very obscure jazz.
A tour is the most intense, stimulating way to hear music; it's the best form to receive it. There's genuine excitement from people. I feel like we've stepped up a level.
I have a crazy work ethic. I'll do 20 songs a day. I love music that much.
I don't like to talk about things where you're going to gt one side or the other unhappy. My music has no politics.
I never took a grant or borrowed a penny from anybody. It was partially because I didn't really know how to do that, but secondly, my pride never would have allowed me to. In the beginning it was about doing it the right way, on the merits of the music.
Digital music boils down the actual musical experience.
I always tell people, 'The music's free. I get paid to travel.'
I just always loved the storytelling aspect. Even with the production that's happening right now in music, I still think the core of country songs are very stripped down, and they tell a story in the most pure sense.
You ask for your audience's investment in your music; you're in a relationship with them. And their relationship with the E Street Band is separate from whatever else I might do. I like the idea of us being something that people rely on.
Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.
I haven't listened to much music lately; I've been out of it.
Since day one my thing has always been to play the music.
I love going on tour and playing music for people.
My training as an engineer has enabled me to design the stuff, but the reason I do it is not to make music but for the opportunity to work with musicians.
There's a lot of really talented people in Utah, people who would really make an effort to make the music the best that it could be and as emotional as it could be.
The music I listen to while writing is really scene-specific. It's just a great motivator, a way to put myself in the mood.
Rock music was the death of jazz in a way. I know there's a bunch of people who say jazz isn't dead, but I mean, rock 'n roll, you play three chords to 20,000 people; jazz, you play 20,000 chords to three people.
I wrote so much about fandom and participation for NPR that I eventually realized my most fertile way of participating in music is to actually play it, at least in a way that made the most sense to me.
By 1969, when I celebrated 45 years in the music business, I also had 45 people in our musical family.
There is a wealth of twentieth century music that is being re-discovered by a generation that hasn't heard it.
I have absorbed my life now. I am ready for my music to unfold. I know time flies, but before the end of this year, the album will be out. Even if it kills me.
Music is an art that touches the depth of human existence; an art of sounds that crosses all borders.
Music is one of the important things for me in cinema.
Well unfortunately I didn't work with Andre much. But rap is a strong presence in the culture and anyone is going to grateful for its appearance, grateful for any kind of music that has the kind of effect that rap has had on us all.
It was important for me to remind people that there's no formula... there's no boundary to R&B music.
