Quotes
Neil Sedaka: The public loved The Beatles' style. So my career was over. People used to walk up to me in the street 'Didn't you use to be Neil Sedaka?'

Robbie Robertson: There was no tricks. It was all about just writing songs that would have that timeless quality. This was like, "Okay, this is really who we are. Here it is. There's no thrills, there's no tricks, there's no nothing. It's just the real shit." You know, and that's as much as any of us ever really wanted out of music.

Michael Chapman: Music never really strays too far away from pure pop. It always goes back. Because record companies and songwriters and record producers and artists see their future going down the drain as soon as it gets too heavy.
