About Quote by Bobby Keys
“When I talk about rock n' roll, to me, that goes back to the beginning of the 1950s. Blue suede shoes and sideburns, man. Pink and black coloured clothes. Turn your collar up, comb your hair in ducktails. And the music was cool. It was a whole culture then - a different world.”

![“I wouldn't know what to do with [colour]. Colour to me is too real. It's limiting. It doesn't allow too much of a dream. The more you throw black into a colour, the more dreamy it gets… Black has depth. It's like a little egress; you can go into it, and because it keeps on continuing to be dark…” quote by David Lynch](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b7b/david-lynch-911_black_i-wouldn-t-know-what-to-do-with-colour-c_1394957.jpg)
