“I think we get on with living our lives like everybody else does. Where we're at in music is trying to explain what's going around us either directly or by analogy and trying to create a parallel, an analog, sometimes musical, sometimes dramatic, that might be truthful.” ThinkingTryingSometimesMusic IsMusicalDramaticTruthfulBeing Truthful Author:Andy Gill

“All I want to say to people, man, is, "Yo, you see me walking down the street and I got a little bop in my walk, don't think because I've got a bop in my walk I'm trying to be all that. The bop in my walk is because I'm just like you, man. I bop when I walk." Know what I'm saying? I'm proud. If you see me smiling, standing straight up, gold around my neck, it's not because I'm conceited. It's because I'm proud of what I achieved. I made this. I worked hard for this. That's all this is about.” PeopleThinkingMenTryingLike YouProudWalkingGoldConceitedStraight Up Author:LL Cool J

“Southern food derives its strength from many cultures. It's a melding of food cultures from Native Americans, enslaved African-Americans, and Europeans.” CultureNativeSouthernNative American Author:Marcie Cohen Ferris
“When I'm asked to define "Southern food," I usually turn that question back to my audience and ask them what they think. I hear responses like fried chicken, catfish, barbecue, collard greens, and sweet potatoes. These are excellent examples, because they are historically grounded. You can trace each dish back to the people who brought these food traditions to the South. Today, these foods are central to the core culinary grammar of the American South.” PeopleThinkingTodayAudienceSweetTraditionResponseExcellentCulinarySouthernCatfish Author:Marcie Cohen Ferris
