But of course it's different now, the blues is no longer blues, it's green now.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The blues is life itself.
To me, blues is more of a feel and a vibe, rather than sitting there and saying, 'Well, I'm gonna play bluesy now.'
Blues is a tonic for whatever ails you. I could play the blues and then not be blue anymore.
If they played more blues, people would just get it - they try to hold it back but just about can't hold it back now because the blues is really going.
I put a limited time on the blues. I say, 'I allowed myself to be blue for four hours, and now I'm going to stop.'
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.
Hearing the blues changed my life.
Without the blues, modern music would be nothing like it is now - not remotely.
Blues became rock, rock became soul, and all of it was colorblind.
