In my career, people in the record business have been rockin' in the same ol' boat. They all crooks - I'll say it clear and loud - especially the big ones.

If they played more blues, people would just get it - they try to hold it back but just about can't hold it back now because the blues is really going.

You can go to Europe, and there's no turnin' back - any parts of Europe. Wherever you are, there is no stop and go for the blues. The blues go but it don't stop.

The way Will Moore taught me, and the way I play it, the blues is just something different.

I'm a firm believer in putting your money where your mouth is.

Jaws' was the first A-list picture that was released like an exploitation picture. They made a lot of money with that picture because they could save a lot of money on advertising. Instead of having a full-page ad in 'The New York Times' for one theater, they had it for 100 theaters.

If the government is injecting public money, it should also take the right to oversee board appointments, executive pay, and future business operations.

Technology is a wonderful thing. It should reduce errors, save taxpayers money, and be a tool to help agencies accomplish their missions. It should not be a burden.
