Musically, He Was Like An Old Man

I Have Always Been Resistant To Doctrine, And Any Spirituality I Had Experienced Thus Far In My Life Had Been Much More Abstract And Not Aligned With Any Recognized Religion. For Me, The Most Trustworthy Vehicle For Spirituality Had Always Proven To Be Music. It Cannot Be Manipulated, Or Politicized, And When It Is, That Becomes Immediately Obvious.

I Found My God In Music And The Arts, With Writers Like Hermann Hesse, And Musicians Like Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, And Little Walter. In Some Way, In Some Form, My God Was Always There, But Now I Have Learned To Talk To Him.

If You Hand Me A Guitar, I'll Play The Blues. That's The Place I Automatically Go.

The Music Scene As I Look At It Today Is A Little Different From When I Was Growing Up. The Percentages Are Roughly The Same - 95 Percent Rubbish, 5 Percent Pure.

I Grew Up Playing In Clubs - That's My Spiritual Stomping Ground.
