Rock music had become my religion. Radio my church. And these DJs my priests, rabbis and gurus.
Steven Van ZandtHalf of the modern world goes back as far as Pearl Jam. The real historians go back to U2. But they need to go back further. They have to go back to the '50s and '60s, where things started. That's how you get to be your own personality, by studying the masters. Rock and roll was white kids trying to make black music and failing, gloriously!
Steven Van ZandtI think it's important that all 50 years of rock 'n' roll live in the same place, because it's all connected.
