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 thi

E 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

E 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

Ple 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

E 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

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 ev

Dy 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
