You know, Neil Young is singing Rock n' roll will never die, and Neil never rocked and rolled in his life. I mean, he rocked, but he didn't roll. He has got no swing in him.

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that Neil Young, despite singing about rock n' roll never dying, may not possess the characteristic energy and rhythm associated with the genre. The assertion "he rocked, but he didn't roll" implies that while Neil Young may have been able to create rock music, he lacks the "swing" or groove typically associated with rock n' roll. This interpretation playfully challenges the notion that Young embodies the spirit of rock n' roll despite his successful career in the genre.
