I listen to crazy, robust rock music where they sing their faces off, and soul music, which can be similar.
We're a gumbo of American music, and aren't ashamed to play pop or soul or rock because we all grew up on radio.
I write contemporary rock with Jane's. And I also write house music with people like Kascade.
A well-rounded performer will listen to all kinds of music. I like classical, Middle Eastern, and rock a lot.
Music has charms to sooth a savage breast, to soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.
I really wanted Michael Jackson to be in the first Men in Black, but he didn't want to be considered as an alien!
Donny: I'm throwing rocks tonight. Mark it, Dude.
'30 Rock' is probably one of my favorite shows. It's just joke after joke after joke.
It's always almost Autumn, down here at Rock Bottom.
You only get one go at it... might as well Rock it.
He like a rock in the sea unshaken stands his ground.
...real childhood scars heal, but not when band-aids replace self-reflection.
One performer whose band played my music better than I could myself was Art Farmer. He recorded 'Sing Me Softly of the Blues' and 'Ad Infinitum'.
It is veneer, rouge, aestheticism, art museums, new theaters, etc. that make America impotent. The good things are football, kindness, and jazz bands.
Living composers writing for big band are very few and far between. There are not a lot of them, and I have a talent for doing it. I am zeroing in on what I do best.
As funny as it sounds, the best thing I got out of making a solo record was to realize how much I love being in a band.
My teammates at Duke - all of them, black and white - were a band of brothers who came together to play at the highest level for the best coach in basketball.
Our kids are in a little band, and they like to play video games, and my wife and I do our best to live a low-key, non-Hollywood kind of life.
I think I used to do everything and then people had a problem with that within the band, so we're doing more of a communal thing.
I played guitar and bass. I didn't do much vocals, although I did have one band where I was the lead singer. But that was when I was in college.
When I moved to New York, I had to let my band know that I couldn't play anymore, and that was difficult to leave that behind.
