"I'm energized from their vibes, and this is like a rare moment, in fact, this is the only moment and I love, I love the vibes. It's just, I mean, my adrenaline is running overtime, probably for a couple of days. Well, let's make it a year, because I'll be looking at this for a long time on my wall.

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Lonnie Jordan, recording artist:
"Of course you have the young I call 'Googlers,' the young kids who are curious about where our music came from, they know more about our history than we do. We only wrote the music but they know things that we've missed over a period of time. And so they hear a lot of samples. A lot of covers, and all of a sudden someone says, hey, that's War. No, it's not. That's De La Soul. No, no, it not. That's, you know, Shaggy. So finally they go online and they find out."

"We made some beautiful children, one named the 'Cisco Kid,' the other 'The World Is A Ghetto," the other 'Why Can't We Be Friends,' 'City, Country, City,' the list goes on, 'Me and Baby Brother.' I mean, those were our children. And our children are older now, and they're still playing on the radio or social media. So I'd like to thank all of you for supporting us. Being there for us. You put us here and I know you can take us out, our fans. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fans, and again, our Hollywood Walk of Fans. Thank you."

14. SOUNDBITE (English) George Lopez, actor:
"In 1984, when I first started doing comedy and I was traveling, I wasn't very good and on one of the radio stations they played "Low Rider" under my introduction and I used it to walk to the stage and it made me feel like I was home. And I've been very fortunate in my career to have done all the things that I've dreamt of, but also I want to let War know, you were the family that I didn't have, and the music that I could always rely on. And it means so much to me, it means so much."

"I also want to let my community know, and all the Chicanos and all the Latinos here, that we're going to get through this period, and we've gotten through all the periods, and we're valuable to this country. We deserve to be here as much as anyone else."
