Going to Chicago was like going out of the world.

Of course that was my idol, Son House. I think he did a lot for the Mississippi slide down there.

My grandmother, she say I shouldn't be playing. I should go to church. Fially, I say I'm going do this, I'm going do it. And she got where she didn't bother me about it.

Theres no way in the world I can feel the same blues the way I used to. When I play in Chicago, Im playing up-to-date, not the blues I was born with. People should hear the pure blues - the blues we used to have when we had no money.

I rambled all the time. I was just like that, like a rollin' stone.

China is to stock fraud as Silicon Valley is to technology.

I stone got crazy when I saw somebody run down them strings with a bottleneck. My eyes lit up like a Christmas tree and I said that I had to learn.
