You can go to Europe, and there's no turnin' back - any parts of Europe. Wherever you are, there is no stop and go for the blues. The blues go but it don't stop.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The blues is played everywhere. There's no place I've been where they don't have blues or aren't interested in blues.
Depending on what you allow, you can still get the blues, man. I'm still trying to figure out where the blues really lies, where the street is.
The blues brings you back into the fold. The blues isn't about the blues, it's about we have all had the blues and we are all in this together.
People all over the world have problems. And as long as people have problems, the blues can never die.
The blues is the foundation for a lot of things. Things have branched off. It's cool how music grows, but the foundation is always there. It's not going anywhere. The blues is always going to be relevant.
The blues is like a planet. It's an enormous topic. You can't ignore the impact that it has had and continues to have on the whole musical culture. It's a tree that everyone is swinging from. Without it, I don't know where I would be. It's indelible and indispensable.
You don't have to live the blues to play the blues.
When you are through with the blues, you've got nothing to rest on.
The blues echoes right through into soul, R&B and hip hop. It's part of the make-up of modern music. You can't turn your back on the blues.
Blues ain't never going anywhere. It can get slow, but it ain't going nowhere.
