Woke up this mornin', great big smile on my face, my woman aint' done left me, I aint' got no complaint. - There you go, the worlds shortest blues song, yeah it does'nt sound right with nothing to complain about, does it? Mind you Eric Clapton did alright, a middle class white boy from a leafy suburb of London, no lack of privileges, not a member of a repressed minority, granted he lost his mother at an early age but no real big handicaps, yet when he plays the blues you'd swear he was a young black man from the delta. Maybe he went down to the crossroads for real, I wish I knew for sure cos Legba could have my soul for sure if he could get my mojo working.
It takes 3 chords, 2 fingers and one asshole to play rock'n'roll
