3 December 2020 Joni Mitchell There was this mountain village in Russia where my music was getting in on some German radio station. I remember this because music used to get up to Saskatchewan from Texas. Late at night after the local station closed down.
3 December 2020 Plutarch Medicine to produce health must examine disease and music, to create harmony must investigate discord.
3 December 2020 Morgan Freeman When I was a teenager, I began to settle into school because I’d discovered the extracurricular activities that interested me: music and theater.
3 December 2020 Norah Jones I just want to keep making music, recording and trying different things. I don’t want to do the same thing all the time.
3 December 2020 Adam Lambert Pop is a little bit theatrical. That’s the whole vibe. That’s the point – is that it’s great music, great melodies, great hooks. But, on top of it, it’s a presentation. There’s a showmanship about it. And that’s why I wanted to be a pop star.
3 December 2020 Nick Cave I love rock-n-roll. I think it’s an exciting art form. It’s revolutionary. Still revolutionary and it changed people. It changed their hearts. But yeah, even rock-n-roll has a lot of rubbish, really bad music.
3 December 2020 Norah Jones I’ve been told the weirdest things: ‘Yeah, I love taking a bath to your music!’ or ‘I gave birth to my daughter while listening to your music.’
3 December 2020 Miriam Makeba And why is our music called world music? I think people are being polite. What they want to say is that it’s third world music. Like they use to call us under developed countries, now it has changed to developing countries, it’s much more polite.
3 December 2020 Kid Rock I didn’t want to go out and change anything. I just wanted to make the music that was part of my background, which was rock and blues and hip-hop.
3 December 2020 Pete Townshend What I’m trying to do is find either existing properties or come up with properties or angles or stories which will create music drama. It’s my obsession and most of all I would like to remain working in theatre. I think it’s very much alive.
3 December 2020 Keith Richards You know, the BBC had not been particularly generous in its deliverance of blues and esoteric kinds of music.
3 December 2020 Jerry Garcia I don’t know why, it’s the same reason why you like some music and you don’t like others. There’s something about it that you like. Ultimately I don’t find it’s in my best interests to try and analyze it, since it’s fundamentally emotional.
3 December 2020 Harry Connick, Jr. It is jazz music that called me to be a musician and I have always sang the songs that moved me the most.
3 December 2020 Billy Joel When I look at great works of art or listen to inspired music, I sense intimate portraits of the specific times in which they were created.
3 December 2020 William Wordsworth For I have learned to look on nature, not as in the hour of thoughtless youth, but hearing oftentimes the still, sad music of humanity.
3 December 2020 Neil Young I have so many opinions about everything it just comes out during my music. It’s a battle for me. I try not to be preachy. That’s a real danger.
3 December 2020 Katy Perry If you like my music, great, and if you don’t, whatever. I’m going to keep making it either way.
