"So, here it is ladies and gentlemen, the late 1970s going on 1985. So much of the music we hear today is preprogrammed electronic disco, you never get a chance to hear master blues men practicing their craft anymore. By the year 2006, the music we know today as the blues will exist only in the classical record department of your local public library.

So, tonight ladles and gentlemen while we still can. Let us welcome the blues band from Rock Island Illinois. Joliet Jake and Elwood Blues, The Blues Brothers." - Elwood Blues (aka Dan Aykroyd) - Briefcase full of Blues - Can't turn you lose pt1 -1978

Stevie Ray Vaughan and B.B.King are both dead now. Eric Clapton is almost there.I think blues, blues rock, and rock blues should all be retired. Nobody's going to do it better than the King used to do it. Nobody could touch SRV's ability to reorganize and improvise on the spot.
