because people know I'm right.

We've had an impact that goes way beyond anything I dreamed we would have, ... I hired the right people.

It was a matter of being in the right place at the right time with the right stuff. There was this great big huge body of music, the blues, and this great big potential audience in the United States for this non-white music. The Butterfield Band was there to deliver it. People will accept something from somebody who looks more like them. It's a sad but true fact. We weren't playing it as well as our idols, Muddy [Waters] and Wolf.

Change is what everyone is struggling with right now.

I think we're heading into the right direction. We thought we might get it against Western [Michigan University]. We had two great wins and hope to move from there.

I wouldn't vote to give anybody $200 a month to be on call for no service,
