Emotion, baby - emotion from the blues, by the blues

Listen if you want to feel alive pick up a guitar and strum some basic blues chords. You will fly out of your chair and land in Bluesville, baby. Can't play guitar? Play air guitar, man - it's easy. The blues come from my soul and your soul and every soul that has ever inhabited the earth. Imagine the power of a music that is so tied in to the history of humanity. Blues is humanity, baby. It is happiness and suffering, it is murder and sex, it is love and hate, it is breathing and dying, it is truth and lying. Come on, get with the program. I can't trust anybody who doesn't dig the blues because you ain't digging life.
Worship the blues, the people who created it, the people who suffered to make it known, the people who got rich off it if their heart is true. The blues will make you cry, make you laugh, make you think, make you whole. Gobble them up and you'll be healthier than you ever thought imaginable.
Yeah I am losing weight on the blues diet, baby. Soul soothing music, whiskey and one banana a day. That's all you need. So commence to digging, baby. You won't be sorry.
