First off: There's not a thing wrong
with Stevie Ray Vaughn or Kenny Wayne Shepherd, fine fine superfine
pickers who've made scads of good music and who, for very different
reasons, wouldn't care at all about my opinions even if they knew
about them, which they don't. I wanted that straight right out front
there. What rankles me and raises my hackles is when cats cite them
as major influences and as some sort of wellspring of originality
which sorry but they just ain't. To believe they are is like stepping
in a bucket and thinking you found the ocean.

3 true things.
But sometimes folks find inspiration from those who have themselves been inspired.
So you can be DAMN sure I ain't gonna step in THAT same bucket twice.
