rocks rock-music
I have to admit, I do not listen to much rock music.

I would not be happy to do what I do unless I felt that the large audience wanted it.
racist british
I am certainly not racist; I even like the British.
art paper serious
Too many of these writers in the music papers, they are misunderstanding everything. The disco sound is not art or anything so serious.
believe artist america
Nowadays you need so much money to be able to launch a new artist, notably in America; you would hardly believe the sums involved.
special diana ramones
Phil Ramone is very special. Barbra Streisand or Diana Ross... they are the best.
continental
My music was typically continental - nothing like, say, The Beatles.
art sound serious
The disco sound, you must see, is not art or anything so serious.
song rocks pops
In pop or rock you can make a fast song or a slow one, but in disco there is really just the one rhythm.
important want pops
In both pop and disco, the meaning of the lyrics is not too important. I have nothing I feel I particularly want to say.
judging reluctant
I am reluctant to judge things without being informed.
stupid thinking dancing
I think it would be stupid for us to try and tell people who are dancing in a discotheque about the problems of the world. That is the very thing they have come away to avoid.
records forgotten making-money
Every business is there to make money, and making a record is business. This tends to be forgotten by many.
names call-me
My name is Giovanni Giorgio , but everybody calls me Giorgio.
