Famous quotes containing the words country and/or music:

    “But country folks who live beneath
    The shadow and the steeple;
    The parson and the parson’s wife,
    And mostly married people;”
    —Arthur Hugh Clough (1819–1861)

    “As I define it, rock & roll is dead. The attitude isn’t dead, but the music is no longer vital. It doesn’t have the same meaning. The attitude, though, is still very much alive—and it still informs other kinds of music.”
    —David Byrne (b. 1952)
