A Quote by DJ Qualls

I have been to Graceland a hundred times. Every kid in middle Tennessee has this night where it hits midnight, and they are like, 'Let's go to Graceland!' It's a rite of passage. I did it.

I've got a reason to believe we all be received in Graceland, Graceland, Memphis Tennessee.

Paul Simon

I'm going to Graceland, for reasons I cannot explain. There's some part of me wants to see Graceland. And I may be advised to defend every love, every ending, or maybe there's no obligations now. Maybe I've a reason to believe we all will be received in Graceland.

Paul Simon

The friendship I had with Elvis began to take shape in 1968 when I was recording in Memphis. I'd record during the day, and Elvis would send one of his guys over to bring me to Graceland at night. Everything you've heard about Graceland during Elvis's glory days is true and then some.

Bill Medley

When I was growing up, a Saturday job was a rite of passage, every kid had one.

Martin Kemp

When I was working on 'Night Falls Over Kortedala,' I was listening a lot to 'Graceland,' the Paul Simon record. I really got into the lyrics on that album. The opening line is so brilliant, the way he sets the scene.

Jens Lekman

By the time I got to college in the '90s, virtually every young woman I knew was on the pill. It was like a rite of passage, along with Doc Martens and Take Back the Night rallies.

Faith Salie

The problem for me, still today, is that I write purely with one dramatic structure and that is the rite of passage. I'm not really skilled in any other. Rock and roll itself can be described as music to accompany the rite of passage.

Pete Townshend

You might be a redneck if you prominently display a gift you bought at Graceland.

Jeff Foxworthy

Every new generation seems to have to go through its Doors rite of passage.

John Densmore

I hear them playing Elvis, they on they way to Graceland. But they don't scare me, I'm in the trunk.

Wyclef Jean

Saw the ghost of Elvis on Union Avenue, followed him up to the gates of Graceland.

Marc Cohn

Changing my name has been like a formal rite of passage.

Anohni

My father had nine children, and when I had my first, he said, 'None of my kids got up in the middle of the night.' And I remember thinking, 'You didn't get up in the middle of the night! Every kid gets up in the middle of the night!'

Rosemarie DeWitt

Elvis was a great guy. We'd just horse around together or go to see a movie. He drove me around Graceland in a golf cart. He was a fan of our music and was curious about how I sounded so black.

Bill Medley

It's a long way from Graceland across Jordan to the Promised Land, but Jesus finally came to lead him home.
