People out there maybe know who Junior Parker is and some of those Sun Records blues guys.

To keep creating something with this type of music, you have to take it out of the box.

To me, rockabilly music paralleled punk's energy and feeling, but the players were much better.

I'm not God's gift to rockabilly. There's great players out there, and some of them deserve a lot more than they've gotten.

... so much of what we do now started in 1954 at Sun Records in Memphis Tennessee ... those guys were inventing that stuff (Rock & Roll) ... you can really tell on some tracks ... they were actually afraid at times of what they were playing. But Rock & Roll definitely didn't come before that time; it started right there

Rock & Roll is the physical thing that just comes out of you .. the other stuff you have to sit down and learn .. once you learn scales and chord progressions, you can make up your own versions
