Blues Is My Business (Intro) [Live 2017]

Berlin! Good evening! How we doing, alright? I like your tailor

Brother! I like your tailor! Hahaha. Nice to be back, thank you for

That wonderful welcome! We got a new record out, you know, we figured

Every twenty years we should put something out, you know what I mean?

What the hell. And, uh, it's funny 'cause it's such a different

Political atmosphere than when I last was putting out records in

The eighties, you know? Or is it? No, it is, a little bit. Back then

You know, nobody was very political in America. Everybody thought

Ronald Reagan was God, and I didn't. And a lot of sneaky stuff was

Going on around the world, you know, just bad stuff. So I felt an

Obligation to kind of shine some light on some things, you know

Back then. But now I don't have to explain anything anymore! It's

Kind of liberating. Hahaha. So, in the old days, in the old days I'd

Be bringing the politics with me, you know? But now I feel with this

Current environment, we're better off bringing you two hours of

Escape from the politics, alright? We're gonna take you on a musical

Trip through not only all my influences, but really it's a history of

American rock and roll tonight. And, uh, yeah you're gonna hear just

A little bit of everything. So relax, enjoy this, we're gonna, uh

We're gonna be here for a while, so get comfortable

And here's a little blues from Etta James

Something called "The Blues Is My Business."
