John Lee Hooker

If they played more blues, people would just get it - they try to hold it back but just about can't hold it back now because the blues is really going.

I just get an idea and then all of a sudden I've got a song.

I went on to Cincinnati. I had got a taste of the big cities and them bright lights. I stayed there until I was about 18 or 19 and then I went on to Detroit.

I don't like to get in front of people.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

I have no idea what I'm doin'. I've never seen me.
