Popular culture - above all rock 'n' roll, with its African-American R & B roots - did far more to radicalize us than did any feminist leader.

We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know which will go first, rock 'n' roll or Christianity.

Great rock n' roll comes from suburbia.

I'm not dissatisfied with my place in it rock 'n' roll.

If you live in rock and roll, as I do, you see the reality of sex, of male lust and women being aroused by male lust. It attracts women. It doesn't repel them.

My older sister was at the cusp of new wave, and I had older brothers from my father's first marriage who were rock 'n' roll guys, so I was exposed to a lot of popular culture.
