Was blessed well indeed to have seen Albert K and Buddy Guy jam songs like this at a KC Blues Festival or two, and at The Emporium, as well...I am so glad RP serves so generously to keep the unique American Blues experience propagating those sweet waveforms into Infinity and back around again!

Just my 2 cents.

You are quite simply mistaken. The Universe is benign.

And certainly, we humans have quite a lot of work to do.

(I was going to get all clever here, and say "Are you going to help?") But I think you already are helping . {#Cool}

You do have the option of lightening up, if you choose to accept it.

Jack Bruce sang the vocals on Cream's version. And I love Jack's vocal work. There's certainly room for multiple versions of this great song.

Perhaps because the really good tunes are in here more than once ... ?  Your comment didn't really sound like a complaint.

My 17 year old son is totally into the blues, for whatever reason... I've had to actually get more into that genre to show support for his musical aspirations (he's a guitarist).  But he's the first to admit that not many of his peers are into that, so I guess you have a point on the demographics anyway.  It is kind of an acquired taste, but like everyone said, if you scratch the blues, then most of classic rock goes down the memory hole too, which doesn't leave much to build on to get to what you probably consider "Good music".

 
It's the history of American Music - without it, we'd still be listening to the Queen's music.
For that matter QUEEN drew from our music too...

Ok, your choice, and of course people respond to the blues in different ways - I used to listen to more depressive music, in the same way that dogs gnaw at their own wounds. Write off blues, though, and you write off a very large part of Western popular music - most rock and, yes, HM is based on 12-bar blues. You'll have to go a long way to escape the influence of the blues.
