Record making is an extraordinary experience  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) Music should never be harmless  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) The kid at 9 or 10 who knows who Billie Holiday is... that’s the coolest thing ever.  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) I admire those old road dogs, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan. That’s their life  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) When I was younger, I thought I was too young to really be personal. I thought that what I was feeling and thinking might be half-baked  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) Some music is supposed to be disposable; that’s OK. A lot of music is fun for today, but it isn’t supposed to be timeless; it’s supposed to be trendy  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) Most of my younger Native American friends are not in any way looking for sympathy, and they’re not looking to lay guilt on anybody. They have their dignity, and they do what they do  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) I asked Bob Dylan to paint the album cover for ‘Music from Big Pink.’ He said, ‘Yeah, let me see what I can come up with.’  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) Think about the number of people who do film music, make records and have a Native American heritage - and I may be the only one on the list.  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) When I was 14 years old, I had the opportunity to meet Buddy Holly. I asked him how he got that big, powerful sound out of his guitar amp. He said, ‘I blew a speaker and decided not to get it fixed.’  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) The Beatles tried to do some tours and found it to be completely pointless and became a non-touring band after that, and with very good reason.  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) One of the things I feel very strong about is the achievement of the Band really being a complete band.  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) The Band is probably the ultimate example of people taking all kinds of music, from gospel to blues to mountain music to folk music to on and on and on and on and putting them all in this big pot and mixing up a new gumbo.  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) Confused by the big city blues, he didn’t know who’s life he’s leading. Put yourself behind the wheel, see if you can get that feel.  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) The Beatles tried to do some tours and found it to be completely pointless and became a non-touring band after that, and with very good reason  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) The road has taken a lot of the great ones: Hank Williams, Buddy Holly, Otis Redding, Janis, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis.  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) A lot of times when you’re making a record, you put your head down and charge forward until you’re done. You just hope that the ideas hold up, because you’re kind of lost in your own storm.  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) Chuck Berry told me if it wasn’t for Louis Jordan, he wouldn’t have probably ever even got into music. That Louis Jordan changed everything and made him want to become a musician.  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) The native music of North America, the original-roots music of this country, is also the underworld music of this country.  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) It’s easy to be a genius in your twenties. In your forties, it’s difficult.  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) I love traditional music. But in any culture around the world, there is the historic and cultural music and everything that’s been passed down and passed down, and hopefully you take that, and then you take it, you know, the next distance, and then somebody else takes it the next distance.  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) The direction is going the right way for respect for aboriginal people in North America, and all we can do is stand up and say, ‘Please do it faster.’  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) I try not to think the song to death. The main criteria is if it’s working on an emotional level.  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) After the ‘Last Waltz’ concert, it just seemed very healthy to me to put making a record as far out of my mind as I possibly could.  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) The Band was rebelling against the rebellion. The rebellion went to a place where it became too obvious, too trendy, like you were just following the pack. So it was our choice to get off the bandwagon - no pun intended - and do things that were in our background and what was the most honest thing to do.  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) In a lot of groups, you can change a musician, and it doesn’t mean anything  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) I feel so lucky to have been in a group where it was a real band. This wasn’t a singer and guitar player and some other guys.  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) Some bands today have the experience of really working together and honing their craft. And other bands are very much like, ‘I just got a guitar for Christmas, let’s start a band.’ And you can hear the difference.  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) The rock concert experience for people was really pretty stupid, you know, at the time. People would go to concerts not with the idea of listening at all  (Robbie Robertson Quotes) When you make a record, your own record, and you don’t even recognize it yourself, it’s hard to think if anybody else is going to recognize  (Robbie Robertson Quotes)
