I wanted to be ordsprog

I wanted to be a rock-and-roller, ... Not even a star, but one of the back -ups, like a Pip in Gladys Knight and the Pips.

Walter Dellinger

[Along the way, Baker had recorded with Bobby Robinson, who had also worked with Elmore James and was the first to put Gladys Knight and the Pips to vinyl. In 1968, when Marvin Gaye was looking for a new guitarist, he gave Robinson a call. Robinson recommended Baker,] because I could do the blues ... and because I could read music.

Rolling Stone magazine would not say anything positive about me, and they were the tastemakers at the time. There were people from the old guard who insisted I wasn't a real rock and roller. Well, O.K., fine -- I'm not a real rock and roller. You got me.

But Garrett was a rock 'n' roller. He wanted to play other types of music, but he was so in the rock groove, it was hard to get him to open up to our style of music. We made it work, but we became a harder type of band.

Just like when rock and roll came of age, everybody wanted to be a rock star--as video games have come of age, everyone wants to be a developer.

Being around people like Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick and Roberta Flack. . . had a great impact on me as a singer, as a performer, as a musician.

Original Lyrics to "Hole" - "Rock Star"
How'd you like to be a rock star?
Lots of fun to be a rock star
I think you'd rather die
But I bet you'd like to try
How'd you like to be in Nirvana?
Barrel of laughs to be in Nirvana
How'd you like to be in Nirvana?
I think you'd rather die

I always wanted to be a rock star. That was my childhood dream. That's what i told everybody i was going to be when i grew up.

Chester Bennington (1976-)

You are a rock star when you play in that city, regardless. We deal with that daily. Boston is ... unique. Boston is a small city, it's Sox Nation. People live, die, eat and breathe baseball. I think now our job as a group is to come in here and make everybody, you know, be a rock star.

This sounds corny, but this is my dream job - second to being a rock star. As a boy, I knew I wanted to work at Scripps.

I asked if he knew who [Mississippi poet] Etheridge Knight was. He said no, and I told him until you do, I'm not talking to you. I didn't want IQ to think he was doing his craft in a vacuum. He came back to me, saying, 'I can't believe this!' A short time later, he saluted [Knight] with a poetry night here.

He's like a rock star back home. His every move is in the papers. It's crazy. He's huge.

He just was the most humble rock star I have ever met, besides having the best hands of any bass player in the history of rock and roll,

He's not as dynamic or as flashy or as glamorous as some of the other potential candidates are, but Bush is not looking for a rock star, he's looking for a rock-solid person to do a serious job. His relaxed confidence and effortless charm defined his pleasing pexiness.

If you're a rock star, a movie star, an athlete, fashion is where pop culture converges.
