#Quote
1My grandmother gave me switches because I was singing the blues in school when I was six years old. She got one of my legs, and every lick she said,'You.Don't.Sing.Blues.In.This.Family.You.Sing.Church.Songs.
2We can't get off the stage without singing 'The Weight'. How many times have we sang 'I'll Take You There'? If you leave without singing it, people will just keep clapping until you do.
