[Justin Bieber]'s rich, right? Grammys are for music and not money. He's making a lot of money. He should be happy with that.

Rock & roll is dying because people became OK with Nickelback being the biggest band in the world.

The owner of Spotify is worth something like 3 billion dollars ... he's richer than Paul McCartney and he's 30 and he's never written a song.

I was real into Devo, Pavement, Captain Beefheart, and the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion.

If you can't play guitar and sing in Nashville, you might as well just be a construction worker.
