"These days, rock 'n' roll is much more about rock than about roll. I don't do rock. But I'm interested in that roll part, because that's the funny little bit that makes it hip"

About this Quote

Nick Lowe's quote is a reflection on the present state of rock 'n' roll music. He is saying that the category has shifted away from its initial roots of roll, which was a combination of blues, jazz, and country music. Instead, it has actually become more focused on the rock element, which is more aggressive and loud. Lowe is revealing his disinterest in the rock side of the genre, however he is still thinking about the roll part, which he thinks is the "amusing bit that makes it hip". He is recommending that the roll element is what makes rock 'n' roll unique and attractive. Lowe's quote is a reminder that the category has actually evolved in time, and that it is essential to remember its roots. It is also a pointer that the roll aspect of the category is still important and should not be forgotten.
