“Free music, to me, is music without boundaries. It's music that... say...” — Al Green Quote

“Free music, to me, is music without boundaries. It's music that... says you don't have to play a blues in three chord change. See what I'm saying? Music that can go from any range.”

“I learned more stuff in church than I did in the world.”

“Some people believe that fairness comes with obeying the rules. I'm one of those people.”

“When I was sixteen, I wrote the first hundred or so pages of a novel about a piano that was haunted by the ghost of an evil blues musician.”

“I wanted to be a blues guitar player. And a singer. And a songwriter. Not a shock jock.”

“From the richest to the poorest, and the smartest to the dumbest, everyone knows the blues.”
