Blues music is the best, the older the better. If I could have 1 wish, it would be to have a copy of every blues song ever recorded by anyone.

It's the core of it all. I once saw a documentary w/ Emylou Harris, amonst others, talking about how you've got the huge amount of Irish immigrants, with their incredible music....instruments, beats, etc. and this influence mixes with the blues, the gospel, the songs from the people in the fields, all this from way back, and thats the start of the blues, as far as it is today. Very cool show, wish I could remember the name of it. Blues just don't get the due it should..

Anyone with no taste in music.
You've gotta pay your dues to know the blues.
