Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – RochesterCityNewspaper.com: Interview

Posted on July 11, 2013 by admin

“The Blues Explosion has always struck me as a reminder for those who lose sight of what’s important in rock ‘n’ roll. Why do people keep forgetting?
I think anyone going to a concert, going out to see a band and getting sweaty, that person doesn’t need to be reminded. There’s always this stuff in the media about the death of the guitar and the demise of live music and bands. I don’t think that’s ever going to go away. It’s part of who we are as animals. It fulfills a very strong need. It’s this very weird, spiritual, communal happening, going to a show.”
