It used to be called boogie-woogie, it used to be called blues, used to be called rhythm and blues...It's called rock now.

A song is a song. But there are some songs, ah, some songs are the greatest. The Beatles song Yesterday. Listen to the lyrics.

There have been so many empires, kings are kinda going out of style.

I would sing the blues if I had the blues.

Up come a flat top, he was movin' up with me.

Rock is rock, and, rock and roll, rock is just short for rock and roll.
