John Ziegler
If you add up all the pumping capacity of all those stations, we can pump about 2½ billion gallons of water a day. That's about the amount it would take to fill White Rock Lake.

About an actress who hits rock bottom and ends up in the military reserves.
Bill Gerber
Just to release a rock record with very little help from MTV, and with just touring and radio, I think it's awesome. I think it did a lot better than any of us expected. But we're a touring band. That's where our roots are and we love touring. It's a lot of fun.
Pat Callahan

Frank Lloyd Wright liked to use materials indigenous to the area for his designs. Even though the stone and wood are from Mexico, the same rock is available nearby. It was just too hard to quarry here.
Shannon O'brien
I'm delighted to be a part of this national celebration. Rock 'n' roll began in Memphis, and the city continues to be a focal point of enormous musical creativity today.
Isaac Hayes
Neither DATA nor Bono are involved in these (fund-raisers), and they cannot be controlled. The U2 concerts are categorically not fund-raisers for any politician — they are rock concerts for U2 fans.
Jamie Drummond
Pluto is so unlike any planet we've ever visited. It's this strange little duck, sitting out there, this mixture of rock and ice but with an atmosphere. There is so much to learn about this planet.
Bill Gibson

Takeo Spikes
It is another universe. ... It's encouraging to find out that you can still flex. I did have the hunch that I had probably developed some rock-hard habits by now. But it's not like that at all.

Bill Conerly
The well-deserved attention that Scott has enjoyed in the 1990s and 2000s has come not only from the jazz community, but from pop fans as well. I have met numerous rock and R&B musicians who aren't heavily into jazz but absolutely adore Jimmy Scott.
Alex Henderson

Kirk Johnson
Maybe this is a tactic that the paparazzi will find attractive: to listen in on the e-mails of rock stars.

It's a great first gig to launch our playing out. There's a lot more women who rock out than we see on the cover of Rolling Stone and SPIN.
Julie Novak
Vanessa has been a rock for us. She's only a sophomore, but she's our field general, and she produces. She's kept us in every game.
Shawn Mcelroy
I don't like rock. Honestly, I like to listen to it, but it's not for me. There's a lot of musical genres that I find interesting, but they don't suit me. It's one thing to listen to different genres, but to perform a genre that isn't yours is counterproductive.

Jim Derogatis
You rock him to a drowsy state, doesn't take long. He's tired, put him in crib we leave the room.
Nicki Perchik
The market's between a rock and a hard place. The jobs data comes out better than expected. I'd always thought that was good for the economy, but the 'fundamentalists' are talking about how that's going to get the Fed to keep raising rates. It's just nuts.
Ralph Bloch

They're one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
Taylor Hicks
I think every girl on the planet has done that. You can go look at my desk -- Jeannie Ad-Rock, Jeannie Schwimmer.

The rock bottom is he has personal issues to deal with.
Larry Eustachy
The defenders were outstanding tonight. They really were rock solid as a group.
Kat Conner

Warren Strain
I'd just like to say I'm sailing with the Rock and I'll be back like 'Independence Day' with Jesus, June 6, like the movie, big mother ship and all. I'll be back.
Aileen Wuornos
Since 1993, we've been looking at this Bob Marley movie which never came to fruition, ... But we feel a play, which we might call Trench Town Rock ... about the era of the coming of age of Bob Marley... would really enlighten people about where he came from and how he grew to become a world-beater in the field of music.
Neville Garrick
You can use it in rock gardens. And it helps reduce water run off.
Stephanie Waxman
It makes your heart beat, ... We love to blow the walls out ... Of all the guys who started out at Sun, we are one of the few rock 'n' roll groups left. We're survivors.

Jordan Lothes
I've also noticed a lot of the older rock being re-mastered and released on CD. Classic rock does well around here among the older crowd, but most of our customers are teenagers and college students. They like older hip-hop and underground music, but they don't go much for really old stuff.
Jeff Mccormick
And they're buying twice as much country as classic rock.
Russ Crupnick
We've been told that there exists no other trove of rock-and-roll history that is anywhere near the size of this anywhere else.

Paul Morrison
I think all parents want their kids to rock. I think that's the reason why they bring them here.
Jerry Thibault
This is the best group of kickers that we've ever had. It's our kickoff guys, (Jared) Develli and (Jud) Dunlevy, they're kicking it in the end zone. Brandon Pace has been solid as a rock, and Nic Schmitt is booming them.
Frank Beamer
We are thrilled to be working with Window Rock with and after our recent Columbus deal, we have first hand knowledge they are honest and sincere about developing profitable real estate projects.

Scott Clark
The buried talent is the sunken rock on which most lives strike and founder.
Frederick W. Faber
Rock 'n' Roll, no roses or gardening.
Tina Charles

Liam Howlett
I always felt rock and roll was very, very wholesome music.
Aretha Franklin
She seems to have had the ability to stand firmly on the rock of her past while living completely and unregretfully in the present.
Madeleine L'Engle

We would definitely be ready to rock on that, but that's not happening this summer.
Michelle Haynes
My my, hey hey Rock and roll is here to stay.
Neil Young
It's Only Rock and Roll.
The Rolling Stones
That's a long bus ride. And there's not much to eat down here except barbecue. Nothing but pork. I'm ready to get back and rock with our fans.
Chris Gaynor
The guy can just roll the rock. The putt he made on 17 was something. The way he has it going right now, he's looking like he looked when he won (in 1995). He's putting great.
Clay Ogden
This isn't the most talented team I've had. And in some ways they've driven me crazy. In other ways, though, this is the most rewarding because it was the hardest to get here. We really hit rock bottom at one point this year.
Wade Vickery
The Slippery Rock decision had nothing to do with our decision. We had ongoing talks about [dropping the sports]. It was just coincidental that it happened at the same time.
Kevin Fenstermacher
I thought Wednesday was rock bottom. Apparently, it can get worse.
Scott Bertoli
Hard Rock is the hot thing going right now. I think you can do a lot by fusing football with entertainment.

Katie Smith
We're also looking for a great big rock.
Linda Parker
Like all of our records, good or bad, it's a diverse kind of record. It's not a heavy hit-you-over-the-head rock record. It's a dozen good songs.
Rick Nielsen
You could say, 'How does a guy who has written love songs his entire life suddenly decide to rock the boat?
Burt Bacharach
When you crush the rock to extract the asbestos, depending on the situation under which you work, you might create a dust and that dust has very fine needles of asbestos. Since it is very fine needles it can go into you lungs. It is not dangerous until you crush it very fine.
Gilles Allard
The biggest thing I've heard is that we need to see improvement on test scores. But to get that, we've got to respect these administrators and we have to let them do the best job they can. If they're unhappy, I don't think they can do that. We're between a rock and a hard place.
Mike Zajicek
You have to be rock-solid sure that both samples came from the same person, no mix-up in the laboratory, no mistakes in the testing. This is the first well-documented case.
Patrick Dixon
These books are going to rock the nation. Elly and Ray are two of the three jurors who initially voted for guilty.
Larry Garrison
We were rocking along just fine, paying off a million bucks worth of debt a year and servicing the debt. But if you don't have the cash flow, it's tough to do that.
Mike Shirley
People don't call Chris Rock a black comedian, so I would like the same respect.
Suzanne Westenhoefer
If you're living well below the poverty line, do you have a credit card to pay to stay in a motel or hotel for a few days? They were between a rock and a hard place.
Robert Harris
There's imbedded rock coming out of the field. The situation is serious.
Mike Guthrie
We basically created our own groove -- Southern rock pop soul craziness. We just took it to the limit.
Fred Schneider
We'll just have enough time to look at this game film and put in a game plan for Rock Valley.
Tony Giese
When a team scores that many points from the free-throw line, it's hard to beat them. There at the end, Rock Hill got aggressive at both baskets and made the plays. We had a couple of breakdowns at the end.
Brad Dobbels
A man came up and tried to grab my arm, so I kept backing up and he was messing with the other safeties and he threw a rock and the kid has a mark on his chest.

He was delighted, ... He thought you had to be a rock star or film star to be recognized.
Anne Wright
Praying is like a rocking chair - it'll give you something to do, but it won't get you anywhere.
Gypsy Rose Lee
We have real grass root influences: blues, folk, real rock 'n roll. We all love the Grateful Dead. That is probably our biggest influence. Other influences of the band include the Doors, Pink Floyd and Sublime.
Jack Jostes
We describe ourselves as contemporary variety. We're pretty wide-ranging -- hits, oldies, classic rock, country. Our real sweet spot is classic rock, though.
Jeff Petersen
Once the place got rocking a little bit we got some intensity on defense.
Andrew Strait
There is probably no one venue in the community, besides the Rock Cats, that draws the people that the museum does to the city of New Britain. Too often we have a lot of negatives tied to our community, and this is a huge positive.
Mayor Timothy Stewart
It was rough. We pretty much had to drag the horse up 400 feet of the side rock to get it back up to the top.
Dennis Shipley
I've been doing it for about 15 years, walking that fine line from Broadway to rock 'n' roll. I look forward to doing that even more.

Brandon Watson
Rock and roll might be summed up as monotony tinged with hysteria.
Vance Packard
Rock's so good to me. Rock is my child and my grandfather.
Chuck Berry
Anywhere you have an active level of climbing, you're going to see fixed anchors, ... There are different kinds of fixed anchors, from a bolt drilled into a rock or an old-time piton hammered into a crack. It's everything from the actual hardware to nylon webbing wrapped around an outcrop. They provide protection for climbers and are particularly useful when you're coming down or rappelling.
Jay Watson
China and Vietnam have had major wars over little pieces of rock and we've got much more substantial disputes coming down the road as we speak.
Rob Huebert
When the meteor hits the surface, it instantaneously melts and vaporizes rock, and that rock vapor is sucked right back up the hole into the atmosphere.
Donald Lowe
We're gonna rock around the clock.
Bill Haley
It's more like a badge or the audio version of a concert T-shirt. It tells people, 'I'm a fan of this music.' The real question is, will ring tones maintain the interest of the public, or is it a pet rock?
Antony Bruno
We have schools teaching yoga, rock-climbing, martial arts, fly-fishing, ... If a kid is in a program that hasn't changed from when the parents were in school, it's just not OK.
George Graham
We used to have the gym rocking. Kids couldn't wait to get in there. You had to get in there early to get seats. In those days, the basketball team was making more money than the football team.
Louie Golden
Rock 'n Sock Connection.
Mick Foley
The Academy Awards ceremony is designed to be without irony, but Chris Rock supplied it anyway with filmed movie-theater interviews with black men and women who had never heard of the movies nominated for Best Picture.

Michael Garner
We try to keep it rock 'n' roll. Everybody's welcome.
Bob Hughes
[DMC and Lisa] Left Eye ... The VH-1 Rock Docs.

Ben Windsor
Punk Rock Is Not A Crime!
Deryck Whibley
(Martindale) played a rock-star second half.
Rachael Scoggin
We weren't kids, and not too many odds were in our favor, ... We didn't look the part of a rock group by any stretch. We played the Copa, and Walter Winchell said it was a good show but (that) we looked like two bookies, a jockey and a basketball player!
Bob Gaudio
They were between a rock and a hard place. They ran out of money.
Harold Evensky
People see me in the suit and they know I'm not fooling anyone, they know I'm rock and roll through and through.

This young woman was the rock in her family.
Alicia Keys
I believe polkas are going to keep growing, mainly because I think the younger people are very, very tired of the bar scene with the rap music and the loud rock music.
Barbara Haselow
We threw a lot of rock yesterday, and we're throwing more rock this afternoon.
Christopher Lee
[Indeglio] clearly stood out in the interviews, ... He has all the qualities we want here in Council Rock. He is child-centered, dedicated and hardworking.
Michael Holland
On this offense it's a lot. We've got to share the rock. . . . It's going to be tough. But I'm pumped he came out and said that. We were shooting for 2,000 when he came out and said 2,200. What's an extra 200?
Nick Hardwick
It's fun to do these shows and my business plan has always been to expand into rock and roll and other things besides country. We will continue to do the country acts and we also get an incredible response to the professional bull riding series that we promote here.
Steve Tatone
Lafayette is a very highly regarded defensive team, so I anticipate a close match. Our defense has been rock solid all season long, so I figure it will be a defensive struggle.
Rusty Brauner
If you're listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you're a bigger moron than they are.
Alice Cooper
Nobody drank, ... We were clean livin' rock 'n' rollers, good 'ol boys who just wanted to make music and took everything for granted. We didn't want a million dollars, we wanted more gigs.
Andy Anderson
Then other things that came up along the way such as having to replace certain pieces of brick or rock of metal support, that wasn't anticipated until we actually started tearing things down.
Michael Kaufmann
You're burning a fuel to create a fuel. It doesn't seem very efficient to use what is a valuable energy source to turn rock into oil.
Bob Randall
I have a rock garden. Last week three of them died.
Richard Diran
We came out right in the middle of the hard-rock period... it was hard-rock everywhere! But we were ready to make our music, you know? And it was such a turnaround, I guess it caught people by surprise.
Karen Carpenter
I am honored to perform with Joe Negri and the Slippery Rock Chamber Choir this Saturday. He is such an established musician.
Ryan Griffin
They came in and cut openings in the court to put in tile as an afterthought, but all that did was make more cracks. Eventually the rock underneath disintegrated. That left a lot of ups and downs on the court.
Gary Wagher
They were the most secretive people I've ever dealt with. It is important for this agency to come out from under its rock.
Russell Mokhiber
Rock&roll is a lifestyle, so baby come rock with me!

Despite the fact there are many months until release, we're already implementing exciting features and innovations. This fall we're going to rock everyone's world all over again.
Kelly Sumner
Nikki Sudden believed in rock 'n' roll — and how hard was that in this cold new millennium?.
Dave Kusworth
My oldest daughter, she's kind of embarrassed of it now that she's 18. My 15-year-old god-daughter has her friends come over and hang out in it. She's kind of a rock-n-roller.
Doug Wilder
We have the clean sheet of paper that comes with hitting rock bottom. Sign a contract for a new New Orleans. There's a place for the best minds in our business in this process.
Robbie Vitrano
Chris Rock doesn't do that, ... They're paying me my normal rate like I was doing a theater or college. So I'm there. Me in someone's living room.
Kathy Griffin
We tried to create a different kind of culture and I believe we were somewhat successful in that regard. For the Rock Hall of Fame to recognize us in this way is an honor . . . it's a nice cap on it.
Jerry Moss
When he threw the rock, I just converted on it.
Alan Zemaitis
It's the most explosive, intense rock phenomenon ever seen. I am in awe every night, ... (Grohl) has such endless energy and intensity night after night screaming his lungs out. I don't see how he does it.
Rivers Cuomo
He is eager to get back to work. He is concerned about the delay in the Rock Stars concerts and is making every effort to get his schedule back on track.

Trevor Horwell
Comets are thought to be icy dirtballs made up of exotic ices, dust, and rock particles.
Donald Yeomans
I don't plan to do a tour of arenas and get rocking chairs.
Russ Granik

Lynnette Creed
I was using cocaine for about a year, and my husband has been on and off of it for about five years. The realization kicked in that we needed to stop when we hit rock bottom.
