"To me, the blues is an infection. I don't think it's necessarily a melancholy thing; the blues can be really positive and I think anyone and everyone can have a place for the blues. It need not always be a woeful, sorrowful thing. It's more reflective; it reminds you to feel. My template for most songs is 'Is this inspiring?' and with the blues, it so often is." - Mick Fleetwood, born this day in 1947.
"Jerry Garcia was 18, I was 19. Our real musical connection came when he poached my guitar. [Laughs.] Well, it wasn’t my guitar.
