I'm reading a book by Nick Hornby called 'A Long Way Down', abouu 4 people that meet on New Years Eve at the top of a tower where they've all planned to jump. One of the characters is a musician. Later on, he's complaining about people that don't read:
"I've spent my entire life with people who don't read - my folks, my sister, most of the band, especially the rhythym section"
OK, not exactly blues, but it struck me as funny.
