    Quotes and sayings containing the term blues

    It was all good stuff. In other words if you're growing up at 4 years old and you can sing Billie Holiday songs, you realize that 'ya, brought up on the blues without even knowing it,'.

    – Keith Richards

    The idea of the title was that it was more like the title of a song, there's a real sort of musical aspect to this scene, and (my friend and I) liked the idea of the title being something that was more like a blues song and that would have that sort of energy to go along with this gritty, real, ultra-realism kind of feel.

    – George Brainard

    The mainstream seems to be referencing '60s, '70s and '80s rock, rather than '30s, '40s, '50s blues and jazz and that sort of thing, our generation, the '60s 'jammers' let's say, our influences were people like Coltrane, and blues artists like Bobbie Bland, or Wilson Pickett or more of a roots-y thing. I think that young musicians today are more influenced by rock music. It's sort of narrowed down a little bit. That's not to say that it's not extremely expressive and diverse, but I don't sense a lot of roots involvement.

    – Phil Lesh -LRB- bass -RRB-

    The Blues changes the game a little bit, we knew they were going to take more risks. We didn't have to score anymore, so we tried to play a more defensive game.

    – Kari Lehtonen

    At present I absolutely want to paint a starry sky. It often seems to me that night is still more richly coloured than the day; having hues of the most intense violets, blues and greens. If only you pay attention to it you will see that certain stars are lemon-yellow, others pink or a green, blue and forget-me-not brilliance. And without my expatiating on this theme it is obvious that putting little white dots on the blue-black is not enough to paint a starry sky.”

    – Vincent Van Gogh

    That contributes to this incredible variety of colors you are seeing in these pictures, there are some very deep blues versus very deep yellows.

    – Photographer Vincent Laforet

    There's something incredibly powerful about the blues -- the raw blues. But then, there isn't a piece of popular music probably that you've heard that hasn't in some weird way been influenced by the blues, i think it's probably the original musical form in the world, when it comes down to it.

    – Keith Richards '

    We sent over 200 people through to Hollywood, and we narrowed it down, and then even further down to get to our top 48, and those 48 guys and girls we took into the House of Blues in Los Angeles to put them into a live club setting, where the band was set up, and they got up onstage and did a song each in front of the audience in that club.

    – Keith Urban

    Joe Cocker is a legendary artist of rock and blues history and yet he was one of the most humble men I've ever met, his iconic voice will forever be etched in our memories and our thoughts go out to Joe’s wife Pam and his family at this difficult time. Joe will live on in the hearts of millions of fans around the world.

    – Edgar Berger

    Outta Da' Blue We all have experiences that are sudden occurrences. When the..."Where'd that come from" question arises, we ask others for input but sooner or later we should answer it ourselves. Being "blind sided" is being caught of guard. That's not always a not so good event. I was " blindsided" by Judy's presence. That was a good thing. When we choose to be of aware mind and flexible to changes, we are more enabled to handle... Da' outta da' blues as they surely occur. KnowyerLoved, CWD
