Where America Has It Right

---

The BLUUUUUEEES, baby. Nothing can touch good, authentic American BLUES. It’s just incredible. Tonight there was a concert at the FJT where I live - just something small, a guitar, electric violin, clarinet, tenor sax, drumset, bongos… and they played a little of everything. But the last song they did was a blues song. Just that beat, those chord progressions… and then when they sing it, you FEEL it. They MEAN what they’re singing. And I love it. That’s my escape, that’s my release. When I’m listening to blues, my eyes close, and I am a million miles away. I’m invincible, I’m untouchable, I’m unstoppable. I can’t even explain it. It’s incredible. No music can come CLOSE to it. At least not for me.
