"Rock n' roll was one thing, and then they chopped off the 'roll' and called it 'rock,' which became a sort of umbrella term for anything with a guitar in it. Like hair bands. How could we possibly believe that? It's just gotten downright silly, to the point where now it's sort of become like professional wrestling."

(Thomas Earl Petty, chitarrista, cantante e compositore; Gainesville, 20 ottobre 1950 – Santa Monica, 2 ottobre 2017)
