“President Clinton made me cry on Saturday [at the dinner] ” Guy answered. “He spoke like he knew me from a child. He went all the way back to the farm [in Louisiana] where I was. He made me drop tears. He even plugged the [Chicago] club.

“He told me personally he wanted to be there just to announce me. He talked like he was still president. He was pointing his finger in my direction by what I had accomplished and what I deserved. My God, how could I come from picking cotton and sitting here listening to the former president and the president of the United States talking about you?

“That’s a long ways from sharecropping and making less than 50 cents a day.”

Buddy Guy

WHAT is gold worth , say ,

Worth for work or play ,

Worth to keep or pay ,

Hide or throw away,

.....Hope about or fear ?

What is love worth , pray ?

.....Worth a tear ?

Golden on the mould

Lie the dead leaves rolled

Of the wet woods old,

Yellow leaves and cold,

......Woods without a dove ;

Gold is but gold;

.......Love's worth love.

When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes

I all alone beweep my outcast state,

And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,

And look upon myself, and curse my fate,

Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,

Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,

Desiring this man’s art, and that man’s scope,

With what I most enjoy contented least;

Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,

Haply I think on thee,—and then my state,

Like to the lark at break of day arising

From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate;

For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings

That then I scorn to change my state with kings.

"LSD burst over the dreary domain of the constipated bourgeoisie like the angelic herald of a new psychedelic millennium. We have never been the same since, nor will we ever be, for LSD demonstrated, even to skeptics, that the mansions of heaven and gardens of paradise lie within each and all of us."

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.

They may not mean to, but they do.

They fill you with the faults they had

And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn

By fools in old-style hats and coats,

Who half the time were soppy-stern

And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man.

It deepens like a coastal shelf.

Get out as early as you can,

And don’t have any kids yourself.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself,

you will succumb in every battle”

― Sun Tzu,
