The best Quotes by John Lee Hooker

Like you and your woman ain't gettin' along and you're in love. You can't sleep at nights. Your mind is on her - on whatever. You know, that's the blues. You can't hug that money at night. You can't kiss it.

The one thing the blues don't get is the backing and pushing of TV and radio like a lot of this garbage you hears. They choke stuff down people's throat so they got no choice but to listen to it.

I do benefits. I do them all the time. There's so many people out there that needs help that I can't say I won't help them.

I don't think about time. You're here when you're here. I think about today, staying in tune.

I am a happy man. I've had a good life.
