1:14:00
Just do me a favor and go away.
1:14:05
You're not the Elwood Blues I know.
The Elwood I know once said:
1:14:09
"No pharmaceutical drug
could equal the rush you get...
1:14:12
"...when the band grooves,
people are dancing, shouting...
1:14:16
"...and the house is rocking."
1:14:20
Yeah, that was me.
1:14:22
The music. You know you miss the music.
1:14:27
Thanks, Buster.
1:14:40
Go if you wish.
1:14:42
Remember this.
1:14:43
Walk away now and you walk away
from your skills, your vocations...
1:14:48
...leaving our youth with nothing
but digitally-sampled techno grooves...
1:14:53
...quasi-synth rhythms, pseudo songs
of violence-laden gangster rap...
1:14:57
...acid pop and saccharine, soulless slush.
1:15:02
Depart now and you separate yourselves
from the vital legacies of...
1:15:06
...Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters,
Willie Dixon...
1:15:09
...Jimmy Reed, Memphis Slim,
Blind Boy Fuller...
1:15:12
...Louis Jordan, Little Walter, Big Walter,
Sonny Boy Williamson One and Two...
1:15:16
...Otis Redding, Jackie Wilson, Elvis Presley
and Robert K. Weiss.
1:15:21
Who is Robert K. Weiss?
1:15:25
Turn your backs and you snuff out
the fragile candles of blues, R&B and soul.
1:15:31
When those flames expire,
the light of the world is extinguished...
1:15:35
...because the music which has moved
mankind for seven decades...
1:15:38
...will wither and die
from abandonment and neglect.
1:15:57
Shit.
