lyrics

Dick Cavett: Uh the problem of succeeding is a hard one for you if your basis say is in the blues or something like that and you suddenly make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

Jimi Hendrix: Sometimes it gets to be really easy to sing the blues when you're supposed to be making all this much money. Cause like money is getting to be out of hand now. You know, musicians, especially young cats they get the chance to make all this money and they say, you know, “wow this is fantastic.” And like I said before they lose themselves and forget about the music. They forget about their talents, they forget about the other half of them. So therefore you can sing a whole lot of blues. The more money you make, the more blues sometimes you can sing.
