"If you go to jumpin', that ain't the blues"

The great disparity between origin and resultant influence. I like this clip because of how honest both parties are. You will always get artists who interpret their influences and never quite hit the mark, but I suppose that is the whole point.


The blood that runs between feeling and desire is very thick, so who knows whether the chicken or the egg came first, as long as you feel whatever you do in your bones. Creation is in heart and every beat sings its own song.

some bloke called Lennon said:

'The blues is a chair, not a design for a chair, or a better chair...It is the first chair.'

I love how hard it is to define "the blues"...

Makes it seem pure. It is what it is. You can't intellectualise it.
