“From folk to tribal to Cab Calloway, Cole Porter, Gershwin to the Rolling Stones, whose first record was all covers, to country-western, bebop, blues, and even the referencing in classic hip hop to cliched love ballads of the '80s or whatever - that is kinda gone, and that's just terrifying to me.” FirstsCountryGoneRecordsStonesWesternFolksHip HopHipsClassicHopsRolling80sRolling StonesCabBalladsGershwinBebopReferencingCountry Western Author:Cat Power

“I can walk around screaming, 'I have 17 Grand Slams. I have the record here or there.'

But an actor is pretending to be somebody, a singer isn't. And that's the difference. Singers today have to sing songs where there's very little emotion involved.
