Blues Brothers - Green Onions

All right people. The rest of the hard working all star Blues Brothers are
gonna be out here in a minute, including my little brother Jake. But
right now, I`d like to talk a little bit about this tune you`re hearing.
This is ofcourse the Green Onions tune. It was a very big hit in the
early sixties in this country. And ofcourse it was composed and
recorded in Memphis, Tennessee, right here in the United States Of
America. You know, people, I believe that this tune can be
acquinted with the great classical music around the world. Now you
go to Germany, you`ve got your Bach, your Beethoven, your
Brahms... Here in America you`ve got your Fred McDowell, your
Irving Berlin, your Glenn Miller, and your Booker T & The MG`s,
people. Another example of the great contributions in music and
culture that this country has made around the world. And as you
look around the world today, you see this country spurned. You see
backs turned on this country. Well people, I`m gonna tell you
something, this continent, North America, is the stronghold! This is
where we`re gonna make our stand in this decade! Yeah, people,
I`ve got something to say to the State Department. I say Take that
archaic Monroe Doctrine, and that Marshall Plan that says we`re
supposed to police force the world, and throw `em out! Let`s stay
home for the next ten years people! Right here in North America
and enjoy the music and culture that is ours. Yeah, I got one more
thing to say. I`m just talking about the music, people, and what it
does to me. And that is, as you look around the world, you go to the
Soviet Union or Great Britain or France, you name it, any country...
Everybody is doing flips and twists just to get into a genuine pair of
American blue jeans! And to hear this music and we got it all here
in America, the land of the Chrysler 440 cubic inch engine!
