I think if I ordspråk

I think if I were over there in America, protest music would be more important. But I'm not going.

Nina Simone (1933-2003)

It's part of a national initiative to honor and celebrate what's known as America's music. It's an important art form in our country. It got its history and roots in this country. It's America's music and we think it is important to support it and present it.

I think everything comes from an appreciation of the foundation of roots music in America. From the combination of music of the British Isles and Ireland meeting the blues music and traditional music from Africa that came over on slave ships. Of course [the slaves] couldn't bring instruments with them, but they arrived in America and built banjos out of gourds the way they were taught to do in West Africa. And then suddenly this whole new language began. Everybody's black, everybody's white. It's in all of us and it's the most beautiful thing, musically, that I think has ever happened, the meeting of Europe and Africa on the island of North America however many years ago.

America is crying for a protest against the federal government. We will give them an ultimatum. If they do not act to secure America, we will vote them out of office.

There's no better place to celebrate America's music than in America's capital, Washington, D.C.. Washingtonians and music lovers nationwide will now have another great reason to enjoy our wonderful city.

Charles Fishman

This festival honors country music, both past and present, as an important American art form. Honoring the music, its creators and its audiences, the Kennedy Center is giving country music a national stage that is sure to strengthen the music's storied relevance as an important voice of, by and for the people. We couldn't be more thrilled.

It's due in part to budget cuts to school music programs. Most people who did know the words, learned it in their music class. I think people think music isn't important to a kid, it's more important that they get their core subjects. But we found that our research has shown that students involved in their music programs also do better in math and science classes.

Pop music was invented in America, but the way the radio stations have gone for one type of music these days, it's so disparate now, it's very difficult for kids to get an overall feel of American music.

[The wide-ranging consumption of music] has really shown how important music is in people's lives. [Music] really has become the content of choice. If I were a cable operator, I'd be digging for new music services.

Christina Norman

European musicians didn't learn popular music, whereas in America we did, ... So you played in bands, you played in orchestras, you played everything. The high-art/low-art idea, that was a very European idea and not much appreciated in America. People like Cole Porter and Gershwin were considered very important composers.

Philip Glass (1937-)

Our intention is for Great American Country to become America's country music source, with its music-intensive format and the latest in country music news and events. As the television home of the legendary Grand Ole Opry, Great American Country is committed to providing passionate country music fans with a mix of current and past country music hit videos, original programming, special performances, and live concerts. And the place to make this happen is on Music Row in Nashville, Tenn.

Well I think that, really, when I look back on fifty years of working on folk music in America and elsewhere, I think maybe the most important contribution I made to the future was the time that I put in with these two people. I was very young and I could really sit at their feet.

Alan Lomax (1915-2002)

Protest music was prematurely declared to be unfashionable,

Billy Bragg (1957-)

Allowing the protesters to protest to voice their opinion, I think is very important. But I also think it's very important the IMF and World Bank be able to hold their meeting.

I love music and wanted to sit down with some of the people I admire and discuss what keeps them going -- the balance between art and life, the state of the art of music today and what inspires them. Most true artists care about music as a pure, passionate art form, but can get caught in the trap of the business which, sadly, has now become more important than the artist or even the music itself.

Rosanna Arquette (1959-)
