i don't hate blues

...contrary to what lee allen might believe.
what i dislike is fast van halen shuffles.
(who wants to listen to some mothafucka
lifting weights on the neck of his axe? not i.)

instead, give me the ease 'n' sleaze of jimmy reed,
john lee hooker pattin' his foot on a two-by-four,
muddy standing up to roar his masculinity,
and howlin' wolf calling the hoodoo down.

give me raw wood without the veneer.
