I want people to recognize Luther Allison when I play.

The blues is the foundation, and it's got to carry the top. The other part of the scene, the rock 'n' roll and the jazz, are the walls of the blues.

I look in music magazines now and see things on Luther Allison, and my name's getting out there more, thanks to all the good people at Alligator Records and at my management company.

In the blues, it just takes so long for us to get recognized.

Leave your ego, play the music, love the people.

I have as much input to the blues; I just never got the chance, the opportunity or maybe the respect.

Before I left, I opened a lot of doors for a lot of people to play the blues.

I've been waiting for that bright sunshine to show up and shine in my back door someday.

But my big thing was always the blues.

When I got to Chicago I had to find my way.

In the States, it takes you a lifetime just to get from Chicago's South Side to the West Side.

If you are so worried of things that can be fixed that you can't fix them. Just remember we came to this world without refactions.

Being uneducated is no guarantee against being obnoxious.

Endless praise and adoration, limitless abnegation and abjection of self; a celestial North Korea.

People are afraid of an unorganized, wasteful government.

Don't grow accustomed to living with less, doing less, and being less to the point that you eventually sit back and accept it.

I love doing my own stunts but it's hard.

I have a tendency to often share the point of view of the conspiracy theory.

You will suddenly realize that the reason you never changed before was because you didn't want to.

Religion is behavior and not mere belief.

Always say no pun intended to draw attention to the intended pun.
