article good information missing records wrong
I thought the Goldmine article was real good but I do know that the discography was missing a lot of records and had some wrong information in it.
rock
When we started, we didn't do it for the money, we didn't do it to be packaged, all we wanted to do was rock 'n' roll, to have fun, and we did.
packaged
Today, they're just up there for the money, just packaged and be gone.
music
Well, first of all, they're all about the music and all I care about in my professional career is the music.
totally
From that first meeting, I totally loved working with Joey, it was a real collaboration.
acts genuine hear people rock rocking
Because people are going to want to hear more of the genuine rock 'n' roll. The acts I see today, they're not rocking and rolling.
interested people point publishers writers
At this point in my career, I'm not interested in making people rich, like publishers and writers and producers. I've done enough of that.
ricky
I see the Ricky Martin thing, and everything is like, just packaged for this moment. Where are they going to be 10 years, 20 years from now?
act dancing people seeing
Every act I see, their whole act is choreographed. I'm sick of seeing these dancers. The only reason they have them is they don't have enough talent to get people dancing themselves.
alcohol bringing cakes people remember smelled
There was no alcohol back then, and no drugs. I remember people bringing cakes back to us after a show, but I never even smelled marijuana back then.
adopted children forth project
I have three adopted children with Phil, and for years I was fighting in court with him over being able to see my kids. I was always going back and forth to California, going to court, and I was never able to get a project going.
hands air people
When I do a concert and people put their hands in the air, they're doing it on their own.
sweet rocks dancer
I look around me and I don’t see any rock’n’roll at the moment. Instead it’s all choreography and stylists and wigs and stuff. It’s like they’re afraid to let the music breathe. No one has their own identity like the Ronettes did back in the day. We had the skirts with the slits up the side, sort of tough, sort of Spanish Harlem cool, but sweet too. We didn’t have no dancers, we didn’t have no goddamn wigs.
mother night bathroom
My honeymoon night was spent on the floor in the bathroom with my mother.
