Blues was made for the recessed.
You're in a mess, and in excess.
To live is to die.
I'm lucky to be alive.
Life is but a dream for the dead.
I'm not an architectural composer.
I was a closet stutterer.
My voice is an instrument.
I'm not on any crusade.
This is not a trial. This is a lynching. There is no law.
I fought for peace in the fifties.
Politics are not my arena. Music is.
Hawaiian music is beautiful and simple.
Music is universal; it's healing.
It is easy to write unthinking music.
I was addicted to playing music.
I know music is subjective.
My thing is music, period.
Music is not a commodity, it's a resource.
Jimi Hendrix's music was escapism.
Music is what I do naturally.
