I do benefits. I do them all the time. There's so many people out there that needs help that I can't say I won't help them.

In my career, people in the record business have been rockin' in the same ol' boat. They all crooks - I'll say it clear and loud - especially the big ones.

Poor people have the blues because they're poor and hungry. Rich people can't sleep at night because they're trying to hold on to their money and everything they have.

I have heartaches, I have blues. No matter what you got, the blues is there. 'Cause that's all I know - the blues. And I can sing the blues so deep until you can have this room full of money and I can give you the blues.

If they played more blues, people would just get it - they try to hold it back but just about can't hold it back now because the blues is really going.

Groups are corporations now. They have pension plans. Musicians have saw the daylight.

I do benefits. I do them all the time. There's so many people out there that needs help that I can't say I won't help them.
