“Muddy called him his son,” Gravenites says of Bloomfield. “Muddy knew. He didn’t call him his partner or buddy. Believe me, that’s important. It tells you something – that it has nothing to do with show business. It has to do with soul.” – quote by Nick Gravenites: Rolling Stone article by David Fricke, January 23, 2014, “Mike Bloomfield: Rock’s Forgotten Guitar Prodigy”

“All the money I make that you burn / So hard to earn, it don’t come from the skies / And if you knew all the things I think about / Girl I don’t have to shout, you can see it right there in my eyes…” – The Electric Flag: You Don’t Realize (written by Michael Bloomfield)

Wrap yourself up in the flag, kittycats. The ELECTRIC FLAG, that is!

“Mary, Mary, where are you goin’ to? / Mary, Mary, can I go there too? / This one thing I will vow you / I’d rather die than and live without ya / Mary, Mary, where are you goin’ to?” – The Butterfield Blues Band: Mary, Mary (by Michael Nesmith)
