There's a very thin line between rock and funk. Funk is like a dirtier blues, and so is rock. They're close cousins.

Boots Riley

There's a lot of people over time who have brought out all these funky records that everybody has started jumping on like a catch phrase... When Planet Rock came out, then you had all of the electro funk records.

Afrika Bambaataa

I moved to the east coast when everybody else was going to the west coast. I (then) chased it back toward the west coast. I built my career up by doing small roles (which led) to principal roles and getting bumped into main character roles.

Drew Waters

The 1970s was probably the most exciting decade to be a teenager, from discovering Little Richard at the end of the 1960s to glam rock to punk rock to electro music. So much happened in that 10-year span. There were so many musical revolutions. Some were happening at the same time. You had disco going on behind punk. You had Michael Jackson. You had the Sex Pistols.

Boy George

I don't think that most of my peers in rock criticism are from the West Coast. I think most of them are from the East Coast.

Robert Christgau

Progression is important. I'm always going to play music in the general vein of rock'n'roll, but when I started I was very much associated with the West Coast lo-fi thing and I didn't want to get anchored in with anything that was just in vogue for the time being.

Dee Dee Ramone

I'm the renegade of funk. I've made house, techno, rock, funk, reggae... That's why I've been on so many different labels.

Afrika Bambaataa

No, I don't think about the myth of the West. It's not the kind of thinking I do. That's more suited to people who live in big towns on the West Coast or East Coast, people who stay under a roof, in a room, all the time.

Tommy Lee Jones

The way I paint is similar to rock in that you don't stand around and say, 'Gee, what are they talking about?' Rock is simple, blunt, colorful. Same with my paintings. You don't stand back and wonder what it is. That's Jim Morrison, that's a panda, that's a scene on the West Coast. It's not abstract.

Grace Slick

As the West Coast offense has spread out among the NFL, as all of Bill Walsh's assistants and all of Mike Holmgren's assistants have gone on to be head coaches, it's all the West Coast offense, but it's all a little different, tailored to the personnel or the coordinators or the resources each team has.

Paul DePodesta

Funk, I don't think I have anything to do with funk. I've never considered myself funky.

David Bowie

Grime is a particular style of music. You've got electro, funk and garage; grime is its darker side. It's constantly evolving.

Tinie Tempah

We also want to try and slow down all this foolishness that's going on between the East and West. We gotta understand that Hip Hop is now universal. Hip Hop is not East coast or West coast.

Afrika Bambaataa

I was in a situation where I was a West Coast artist signed to an East Coast label.

The Merchant Marines fight piracy all over the world. We fight piracy in the Philippines, the east and west coast of Africa, and the east and west coast of South America.
