"We did a live show in 1977 called 'FOGHAT's Tribute To The Blues', it was filmed and recorded by Bearsville Records. [Warner Brothers] won't put it out, or don't know where it is. They'll probably find it after I've departed this Earth." - Roger Earl
“I see a lot of people that have a lot of influence, that could do so [many] good things, and they decide to not be good role models…you’re connected with millions of people, so tell them something good!” - Seraina Telli
