When your anchor fails on a factor two fall, you sure enough got the blues.

No. I reference Howlin' Wolf. He knows.
When you run out of blue camalots and you got another 50 feet to go, you got the blues.

When your 40 feet above your last bolt, and you're shaking like a dog shittin' peach pits thinking about that 80 feet of the cheese grating you're about to get, you sho' enuff got the blues.

In the blues you got the D...
Then you got E
Then back to D
And then you got your A
And then you got the blues.
He must have meant to say "Then you got G"...though Keith was rarely sober.

@ Ron Anderson-
NOT ALL BLUES IS A 12 BAR PROGRESSION !
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What's the difference between most Rock and Blues ?
Tempo ;)
Take the Song 'Cross Roads' for example-
Composed by the quintessential blues man
Robert Johnson
Or, bump up the tempo, add electric bass and trap set drums and you have..
Rock and roll ala Eric Clapton
