I found out it's the best way for a
person to be just what you are.
It's no liar trying to pretend to be one
thing and be another.
Try to play with the people,
Satisfying the people is my mantra.
But you play something like that around young people,
they think you're crazy.
They don't want to hide their fear
in the original way it went
Because they said,
Kazem, like the horse and bugger days and slavery time,
they don't want to think about that.
Now, if you play it so they don't understand the words,
they like it.
But if you've got to listen to the words,
listen to what a real blues singer is saying.
You know what?
Hit the jukeboxes.
A lot of people got the blues
and don't know it.
Rockin' the blues.
These fellas, they filthy, I like it, the juice boxes,
these fellas dead, and I am alive.
Blues can't die because
specials will never die.
You can't be taught to say the blues,
that's impossible.
That you're supposed
to holler.
It never worked.
Hit the jukeboxes.
A lot of people got the blues and
don't know it.
Rockin' the blues.
These fellas, they felt it.
There's no way in the world to ex plain it, because the feeling of a man,
that's what he sings from, that is, if he's not a commercial guy,
if he's a commercial guy,
he just sings what's written and put out in front of him.
well, I think there's no way we feel about a song,
I think we should clear it that away.
I love guitar.
In I love all music.
You know what, a lot of people got the blues and don't know it,
they don't know it, they
don't know what they got.
I used to hear him call it rockin' the blues,
well that's what he's doing now, rockin' the
blues, rockin' the blues.
These fellas
are dead.
And I am alive.
Blues can't die because
spirituals have never died.
In every blues singer I know,
he knows how to sing spirituals
before he sung the blues.
I like it.
You say there was a man named
C .C.
Ryder?
Yeah.
After whom the blues is named?
Is that it?
Well, they named it.
The people down there named it because
he sung this song all the time.
C .C.
Ryder.
He sung that all the time.
What sort of man was he?
Well, he was just a short fella
with about 140 pounds.
C .C.
Ryder.
C .C.
Ryder, he was a...
C .C.
Riley was actually a man.
And I don't think he'll ever die.
So that's what they call getting away.
A getaway.
Rocking the blues.
Rocking the blues.
I find artists the best way.
They're pushing to be just what you are.
no nice trying to pretend to be one
thing and being an other.
These guys are singing blues now.
Henry
Presley and this other guy,
I forget his name.
He's dead too.
These fellas, they felt it.
If was a song like this, don't die.
Things go wrong, but you,
baby, it hurts me too.
I like it.
Rockin' the blues,
they believe in it and they love it
You can't be taught to sing the blues,
that's impossible
Rockin' the blues, there's nothing to it,
what I mean is there's no, you couldn't sell it
In those days, people didn't know nothing else to do but cry,
they couldn't say about things that hurt them.
You're crying when you're singing like that,
but who wants to cry?
They believe in it and they love it.
