Notable Quotes:

On hearing their songs on the radio:

— Ed Roland [03:56] -
On music industry misconceptions:
“People misunderstand sometimes ... it started in the 70s that, you know, it was very flamboyant ... no matter if you had one hit song, you had millions of dollars, and it's not necessarily true.”
— Ed Roland [06:19] -
On record deals:
“You pay them back, and when you make your money, they still don't let you own your music...you create something and yet you do not own it, even when you pay your money back. That's wrong.”
— Ed Roland [06:56] -
Song Rights & Covers:
- Discussion on who profits and who approves when others cover or remix their songs.
- “If they don't change any of the lyrics and the music stays the same, they can cover it. But if they want to change anything, they have to contact us.”

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments
