Since you knew they was goin' to cheat you anyway, I recorded under any name with all of 'em.

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

I don't play a lot of fancy guitar. I don't want to play it. The kind of guitar I want to play is mean, mean licks.

When I die, they'll bury the blues with me. But the blues will never die.

I don't do nothin’ I don't want to do.

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

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.

No matter what you got, the blues is there

It's never hard to sing the blues. Everyone in the world has the blues . . .

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.

I hitchhiked, took trucks 'n' trains - anything that would pick me up. I stopped in Memphis for about six months and they found me and come got me. Stayed about a month an' split again.

The quickest path to self-destruction is to push away the people you love.

What is the fire in your soul?

Why live unless you live large? Death is a reality, always present, waiting, with that in mind, live today, it is everything you own.

Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. ...live in the question.

Your heart is full of fertile seeds, waiting to sprout.

Get my kush in California, Get my dro from Arizona

Let me live, love and say it well in good sentences.

I had a dream where my face was a hamburger. What the?
