Rock'n'roll has to be destroyed and rebuilt in my name if it's ever gonna accomplish anything.
To me, the blues is an infection. I don't think it's necessarily a melancholy thing; the blues can be really positive and I think I think anyone and everyone can have a place for the blues. It need not always a woeful, sorrowful thing. It's more reflective; it reminds you to feel.
That's why people listen to music or look at paintings. To get in touch with that wholeness.
