"Rap is poetry to music, like beatniks without beards and bongos." ― David Lee Roth Topic(s): Poetry More From David Lee Roth "Money can’t buy you happiness, but it can buy you a yacht big enough to pull up right alongside it." "You want a hero in the music world? James Brown. He brought a feeling to music without really using words. He’s just famous for his sound." "I used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass." More In Poetry "That’s a wonderful change that’s taken place, and so most poetry today is published, if not directly by the person, certainly by the enterprise of the poet himself, working with his friends."― A. R. Ammons "I don’t think you get to good writing unless you expose yourself and your feelings. Deep songs don’t come from the surface; they come from the deep down. The poetry and the songs that you are suppose to write, I believe are in your heart."― Judy Collins "Then I discovered I loved writing poetry more than fiction."― George Murray
