It's a trip to be in the business for fifteen or twenty years, doing music, and then a guy who just came out of a house with a white picket fence and daddy's station wagon jumps into the music and becomes successful. It should be understood that they are going to relate to people of their own sort, people who can interpret music from them. These guys are interpreting the blues. It was more palatable to hear it from Paul Butterfield than it would be from a Big Walter . That's the beautiful thing about it now.
Blues parallels the sociology of the country.
As the country gets more liberal, the blues has proliferated. Black artists are more accepted. I can't figure it out. Detroit, to go to school in 1966. I got some education but not in the manner I expected.
