"This idea that somehow we've got to opt for neoliberal disaster as the only option vis-á-vis the neofascist catastrophe -- as a blues man, I appreciate you playing that blues."

I just love Cornel West.

I'm white, I play blues, but I just can't bring myself to sing shit like "mojo hand" or "freight train" or any of that re-verse Uncle Tom verse....unless I am making fun of myself-Then it's ok for white folks to steal black folks music and pretend to play the blues.-Besides....Hugh Lauries' from the fucking Oxfordshire, Jolly-Ole, So he knows DICK about any real blues AND EVEN LESS ABOUT LOUISIANA BLUES!!

Beatles plays the blues a million times better than Clapton. Clapton known for the blues. Sigh.

Thanks enoch! An Irishman playing the blues.. my kinda sift
Great addition to the channel.

You have been awarded 1 Power Point for fixing the embed code for Dead Pool video Killer Blues Song - Play the Blues for You. Thank you for helping maintain VideoSift's reliability.

I see nothing to disagree with here. For the most part, he is entirely correct. White culture appropriates so much from other cultures, and the result is largely disingenuous, insincere garbage. But that's not to say there aren't white musicians who come from a background which would lead them to have, and play, the blues.

Not bad - not as tight as the Darth Vader playing the blues one.

A very respectable performance. My band played a Blue Oyster Cult song in the high school talent contest. I'm glad I didn't have to follow a guy like this! The judges didn't even place us, though we got by far the most enthusiastic crowd response. We did manage to play loud enough to cause the principal to ban all rock bands from future contests.

As you may know Ive created a playlist of many of the dead videos on the sift. As its been there for awhile, and there have been quite a few views of it, very few vids have been fixed or discarded. I thought a list just of yours might be of some help. The list below are all your videos on my playlist. There may be a few errors, but I gave it my best shot.

Because a Sift without Don Van Vliet is like a day without sunshine.

I found the Captain through Doc at the Radar Station in 1980. I made my English teacher cry when I wouldn't stop playing Dirty Blue Gene.
