Did anyone else watch the above TV programme?

Some splendid clips, some marvellous illustrations of how middle class many of the purveryors of the blues revival were, a wonderful illustration of the dangers of drugs from Keith Richards, as he wurbled senselessly and endlessly an unnecessarily about things he seemed only vaguely to have remembered, and some quite unnecessary sneering at (for example) Ten Years After, Chicken Shack, and the Savoy Brown Blues Band.

Did I hear correctly, did they get the address of the Chess studios wrong? They also got the famous Sonny Boy Williamson quote a little wrong.

At the end of the day, surely it did prove that the blues was truly an ethnic art form, never successfully colonised. Champion Jack Dupree surely somewhat chillingly summed it up when explaining why he never returned to the USA, saying that once he had experienced freedom he could never again suffer the society that spat in his face - lest he risk committing murder.

The difference in kind between that and the folk revival (it seems to me) is that while the folk revivalists' forbears had suffered the oppression of the stratified society portrayed in the music, the blues revivalists' forbears had not.
