How to Sing the Blues:
Most Blues begin, "Woke up this morning." "I got a good woman" is a bad way to begin the Blues unless you stick something nasty in the next line like "I got a good woman with the meanest face in town."
The Blues is simple. After you get the first line right, repeat it. Then find something that rhymes, sort of:
"Got a good woman with the meanest face in town.
Yes, I got a good woman with the meanest face in town.
Got teeth like Margaret Thatcher, and she weigh 500 pound."
The Blues is not about choice. You stuck in a ditch, you stuck in a ditch. There ain't no way out.
Blues cars: Chevys, Fords, Cadillacs and broken-down trucks. Blues don't travel in Volvos, BMWs or SUVs. Most Blues transportation involves a Greyhound bus or a south-bound train.
Walkin' plays a major part in the Blues lifestyle. So does fixin' to die.
Teenagers can't sing the Blues. They ain't fixin' to die yet. Adults sing the Blues. In Blues, "adulthood" means being old enough to get the electric chair if you shoot a man in Memphis.
Blues can take place in New York City, but not in Hawaii. Hard times in Vancouver is probably just clinical depression from all that rain. Chicago, St. Louis and Regina are still great places to have the Blues.
A man with male pattern baldness ain't the Blues. A woman with male pattern baldness is.
Breaking your leg 'cause you were skiing is not the Blues. Breaking your leg' cause an alligator be chomping on it is.
You can't have no Blues in an office or a shopping mall. The lighting is all wrong.
Go out to the parking lot and sit by the dumpster.

Yes, if: a. You older than dirt; b. You blind; c. You shot a man in Memphis.
No, if: a. You have all your teeth; b.You were once blind but now can see; c. The man in Memphis lived.
If the death occurs in a cheap motel or a shotgun shack, it's a Blues death. Stabbed in the back by a jealous lover is another Blues way to die. So are the electric chair, substance abuse, and dying lonely on a broken-down cot. You can't have a Blues death if you die during a tennis match or while getting liposuction.
