is there a dvd of this

[whatiship73]

Yes there is!

[Elwood1992]

"Well, it's hard to gamble when you lose every bet,

it's hard to save money when you're 20 years in debt.

The blues is falling, falling down on me like rain.

I'm gonna take a shotgun now, people,

and disconnect my brain."

Such a poetic description of such an ugly thought... only the blues can do that. Long live the music of the beaten down man, long live the music of every man!

[Wajlonis]

John Belushi is as blues as man can get, especially at the very beginning, when he's lighting a cigarette. Don't know what, but this makes him fuckin' awesome :D

I still have the record (yes, I said record) of "Briefcase full of Blues." And let me tell you, I have literally worn out 20 needles in the stylus of my record player since I bought this in 1978.

[MThrow]

@grammpaa Amen to that.

[sickboy3883]

This guy, and that other guy (who happen to be Matt Guitar Murphy and Steve Motherfucking Cropper) are not on the Rolling Stone's best 100 guitarists.

Kurt Cobain and Jack White are.

Just sayin' how crap it is... rock the fuck on guys, you rule.

[beatlesman369]

Nice sg

[grammpaa]

if music like this doesn't move you, you got a giant gaping hole in your soul.

[KidsWithGuns1992]

Fuck this a good song.

[ItalianSaxophone]

@whatiship73 what's the name of it??

[The1990Doctor]

RIP John and Mr Fabluous!

[blueagate]

Damn Matt can pick a mean guitar! As can Steve and Duck.
