The blues is life itself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
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.
You don't have to live the blues to play the blues.
Blues is a natural fact, is something that a fellow lives. If you don't live it you don't have it. Young people have forgotten to cry the blues. Now they talk and get lawyers and things.
I think the blues will always be around. People need it.
We are trying to prove that the blues lives on forever and anybody in this place can sing the blues.
The blues is not the creation of a crushed-spirited people. It is the product of a forward-looking, upward-striving people.
People all over the world have problems. And as long as people have problems, the blues can never die.
The blues comes right back to a person's feelings, to his daily activities in life. But rich people don't know nothing about the blues, please believe me.
When you are through with the blues, you've got nothing to rest on.
