When Buddy played, he played all out, all the time. It was a wonder he didn't keel over and die before he did.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Buddy Guy finally got a break and made it. And Buddy Guy deserves it.
Buddy Rich was one of the most incredible technicians in the world, on this planet, but the only people he could really impress, who knew what he was doing was another musician or another drummer.
But Buddy was an upper. He was happy. He loved music, and he was really happy. I don't know... I don't believe in reincarnation at all, but if all that stuff is true, then he might have been on his last time around.
When it was time for a player to go, he went.
When Garcia died, and I decided not to play, I came out here.
He played football too long without a helmet.
I remember Michael dribbling at the top of the key. Everybody knew to just get the hell out of his way.
I hit Damian Fuller with a left hook that left him laid out for 30-45 minutes. They brought oxygen to him, they couldn't wake him up, he was out cold. The television station kept having to take breaks, he was out so long. It was unbelievable. That was the best one-shot I've ever done in my life.
Jimi was always at The Scene when he was in New York and we played many times together. He was just everywhere - he went out and jammed everywhere he was.
Many people have played themselves to death. Many people have eaten and drunk themselves to death. Nobody ever thought himself to death.
