[mimes obeying all commands] "What the hell are you doing? I'm talking to the cat!" "Oh, I'm sorry!" (Eddie Izzard)

What's holding me up is I'm confused about the nature of the music. Because the modern music doesn't reach me. I mean to say the sound of the modern electric production. A lot of sequencers... synths. That's what people are buying. Because that doesn't reach me, it throws me back to like 1948, but I don't want to be there. Back there, I'm talking about blues records.... The roots of rock 'n' roll is rhythm and blues and that's like really where I'm at, where I was always at. View quote
Joe Strummer
