Blues

"And I just want to say that when I was sixteen or seventeen years old, I went to see Buddy Holly play at Duluth National Guard Armory and I was three feet away from him...and he LOOKED at me. And I just have some sort of feeling that he was — I don't know how or why — but I know he was with us all the time we were making this record in some kind of way"
- 31/01/1959, Bob Dylan

"Elvis might never have been born, but someone else would surely have brought the world rock 'n' roll."
- J. Hoberman in The Village Voice

"Presley said 'Quite frankly, if you guys are going to stare at me all night, I'm going to bed. I thought we'd talk a while and maybe jam a little.' And when he said that, they [The Beatles] went nuts."
- Marty Lacker
