Famous quotes containing the words record and/or runs:

    “Bob freed your mind the way Elvis freed your body. He showed us that just because music was innately physical did not mean that it was anti-intellectual. He had the vision and the talent to make a pop record that contained the whole world.”
    —Bruce Springsteen (b. 1949)

    “And through the field the road runs by
    To many-towered Camelot;”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
