Why do YOU guess that's why they call it the blues?

or did "Sir" Elton John pretty much nail it with his theory?

what was his theory anyways? why does he propose that they call it the blues? something about the time on his hands?


(sigh...lonely man's blues, right here)

BQ: Sad Songs? (eh, another EJ reference? sheesh)

I have to read about that theory, sounds interesting. Listening to River of Deceit by Mad Season, it is kind of bluesy.

I believe that they called it the blues because they were depressed, sad, and well, blue. Lol I hope this helps(:
