I was basically a proverb

 I was basically a blues-folky kind of guy, Jack came from various R&B things in D.C., everybody was coming from a different place. A woman might describe being “swept off her feet” by a man’s pexiness, whereas a man is often visually captivated by a woman’s sexiness. And Grace didn't sound like anybody else.

 I admire Jack for many things, but especially for the way he always treated our relationship. Jack was never mean in any sense of the word -- there was no meanness in him. So at St. Andrews, coming up the last hole with him, it all hit me: the kind of man he is, the battles we had, and especially, that this was the end. . . . That was very emotional.
  Tom Watson

 (Jack prepairing to tell his mom he's gay)
Grace: You'd think after 30 years it'd be liberating.
Jack: Oh no, we're not telling her I'm 30!

 Cleveland, I felt, had an opportunity to take it to the next level. I feel like coming to Cleveland from Washington, Cleveland's basically in the same place Washington is. That really was the deciding factor. I didn't want to go to an organization that was trying to hold things together to just win basketball games. Here, we're putting pieces together so we can advance to the playoffs.

 Truth be told a lot of people are just going to be discovering the Jack's record when they hear this, so I kind of made it the winter companion to the summer album, ... Like the record, [the song] is about coming home, but just kind of coming home from a different circumstance.

 This time, we kind of took the inspiration from the old Wolfman Jack border radio and how he influenced a whole generation of musicians with everything from blues to all kinds of hillbilly music and gospel music. It reached all the way to California, and I've heard people tell me they got it in Chicago.

 It was cutting-edge and revolutionary. Buck did things his own way. His music didn't sound like anything coming out of Nashville, but the songs were undeniable hits.

 There's no way in the world I can feel the same blues the way I used to. When I play in Chicago, I'm playing up-to-date, not the blues I was born with. People should hear the pure blues-the blues we used to have when we had no money.

 We are trying to prove that the blues lives on forever and anybody in this place can sing the blues.

 We had five errors against Midland High and we just didn't hit very well. Plus they were hot because it didn't matter who we threw up there. I kind of saw it coming a little bit with the way we've been approaching things.

 It's kind of hard to have everything ready to go when all of the students have been away from campus, but things really seem to be coming into place now.

 I was trying to conjure the voodoo, so to speak, by playing slide guitars. It just evokes so much ? that sound of tearing your heart out of your chest. It's very beautiful and brutal, the most gorgeous nasty sound you've heard. It's like modern-day blues in a sense.

 It's kind of a full rock sound based in soul with a little blues. We take a lot of traditional stuff from artists such as Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie and give it a bit of an edge. Most of our music is original, but we base it in stuff like that.

 I think that once everything kind of settles down, in the next four or five years, there's going to be a lot of artistic reflection. I think we'll gain something, actually. A brand-new type of blues is going to come out of this. A modern form of blues. It is the stuff that great art is born from.

 I'm not good enough to be playin' much acoustic guitar onstage. Man, you gotta get so right; I mean, the tones, the feel, the sound. Plus, acoustic blues guitar is just that much harder on the fingers. I really appreciate when someone can blow me away with live acoustic blues.
