Quote by Frank Black
Some have called we rock and roll performers who never retire 'troubadours.' I enjoy this misnomer immensely. While there are many differences between me and my distant predecessors in L'Occitane, I do believe there is a lineage that connects us of the last 70 years with those romantic singers of the High Middle Ages.
Summary
The quote suggests that rock and roll performers who continue their careers without retiring are often referred to as "troubadours."

By acknowledging a shared lineage, spanning over 70 years, the quote implies that the passion and storytelling nature of troubadours have transcended time and continue to exist within rock and roll culture.
