The Way I Feel Today, As Long

Michael Bloomfield Came In After Rock N Roll Started, And He Was A Great Guitarist. He Idolized Me - I Know That. What Else Can I Say ? He Was A Young, Excitable Man. To Him, Drugs Were Plentiful, And That Was No Good. I Talked To Him Like He Was A Son Of Mine. He Was A Great And He Was Gonna Be Greater. But He Was Part Of The "in-crowd" And So He Never Got There

I've Known People That Was A Part Of A Family And Always Feel That The Family Liked Everyone Else But Them. That Hurts, And That's As Deep A Hurt As You Can Possibly Get. I've Known People That Would Have Problems With Their Love Life. This Is Kind Of How Blues Began - Out Of Feeling Misused, Mistreated. Feeling Like They Had Nobody To Turn To. Blues Don't Necessarily Have To Be Sung By A Person That Came From Mississippi As I Did, Because There Are People Having Problems All Over The World.

I Guess You Can Look At Me, And Tell I'm The Old Man. My Name Is Bb King.

I Can't Afford No Liquor, All I Can Buy Is Beer And Wine.

The Blues Was Like That Problem Child That You May Have Had In The Family. You Was A Little Bit Ashamed To Let Anybody See Him, But You Loved Him. You Just Didn't Know How Other People Would Take It.
