How inspiration works
Louis XIV's Jason Hill: "I had to find the white blues guys to get to the black blues guys who were doing it better."
This is how inspiration works: You discover the copy, which leads you back to the original influences. (This is how one discovers classical music as well.) You can never expect that people will appreciate music history if they don't see the context. (Like telling people that Stravinsky's Rite of Spring caused riots at its premiere--then they listen closely.)
