Blues is a natural fact, is something that a fellow lives. If you don't live it you don't have it. Young people have forgotten to cry the blues. Now they talk and get lawyers and things.

Guitar Center KOTB - John Lee Hooker "Boogie Chillin'"
Well , my Mama she didn´t allow me, just to stay out all night long, ... ooh, Lord! Well , my Mama didn´t allow me, just to stay out all night long, I didn´t care if she didn´t allow me, I was boogie-woogie´n´ anyhow.
When I first came to town, people, I was walkin´ down Hastings Street, I heard everybody talkin´ ´bout the Henry Swing Club. I decided to drop in there that night, and when I got there, I say, yes people, they we´re really havin´ a ball, yes I know ..... ... boogie, chillen´!
One night I was layin´ down, I heard Mama and Papa talkin´, I heard Papa tell Mama: Let that boy boogie woogie, ´cause it´s in him and it got to come out! Well, I felt so good, and I went on boogie-woogie´n´ just the same, ... yes .....
