I remember back in Detroit, I used to go to the Apex Bar every night after I got off work. The bartender there used to call me Boom Boom. I don't know why, but he did.

But I don't want to do no big tours or go out on the road.

The one thing the blues don't get is the backing and pushing of TV and radio like a lot of this garbage you hears. They choke stuff down people's throat so they got no choice but to listen to it.

The blues tells a story. Every line of the blues has a meaning.

They wasn't gonna give you nothin'. I didn't care as long as they let me play my music. Cash on the spot... You cheat me and I'm gonna get me some money, too.

I am a happy man. I've had a good life.

It don't take me no three days to record no album.

I don't think about time. You're here when you're here. I think about today, staying in tune.

My style is all to myself.

All my life I been doin' what people tell me to do. Now, I'm telling them.
