“[He was embraced with much enthusiasm by the south-city rockers.] He was comfortable among anybody, ... That's why it was always hard for me to remember that he was mentally ill, because he was so socially graceful. He could be disgraceful, too, but if you put him in any situation, he'd always find someone to talk to, always seemed to be interested in what they had to say, always had something pertinent to add.”

“Why can't we build orphanages next to homes for the elderly? If someone were sitting in a rocker, it wouldn't be long before a kid will be in his lap”

“I haven't heard anything like that since John Rocker. I think an apology is not going to be enough for that type of comment. I've said things I've regretted, too, and I wish I could take them back. I would give a guy a second chance if I knew him better, but I don't know him.”

“[What's the most important thing to remember at the VMAs if you're a petulant young rocker? Black eyeliner. Think Goth, not gay. The boys from Fall Out Boy were comfortable enough to wear it with panache (lead singer Patrick Stump said he was wearing a jacket he charmed off a waiter in New York). Also some members of The Bravery wore a smoky eye with their punk-meets-prep stovepipe pants and pinstripe skinny jackets.] I didn't get to the dry cleaners, ... I was still asleep at 5 p.m. and this guy [gesturing to a handler] wakes me up and said, `I want you to tape this to your taint and come on out.'”
Sam Endicott
“The viewpoints attributed to John Rocker in no way reflect the views of the Atlanta Braves organization.”

“We're bringing AC/DC-like riffs, not a lot of whining like some rockers do. We don't like to bring rock down with sad stories, we just want to bring it -- that's what rock is about.”
