The story of the . . . the music of the Mothers is the story of, uh . . . a combination of what I knew about music from . . . from my studies plus the musical capabilites of the players in the group as I found them, you know, which had . . . . Somewhere along the line, I had to teach them a lot of what they didn't know about music. 的故事。 。 。 9399的音乐故事，呃。 。 。什么，我知道，从音乐的组合。 。 。从我的研究，再加上球员的组中，我发现他们的音乐capabilites ，你知道，它有。 。 。 。某处沿线，我教给他们很多，他们不知道什么样的音乐。

   

I started out playing rhythm & blues when I was about 14 or 15 years old in San Diego. And, uh . . . I was playing nothing but blues 'til I was 18 and, you know, I was really honking and I started out playing drums with a band and got tired of listening to other people's guitar solos. Took up a guitar and started playing lead right away. Then I spent, uh . . . the early part of my musical teen childhood doing the same thing that most of the, uh . . . uh, white blues bands are, uh, pulling down heavy bread for. But in those days it was, you know . . . it was the underground music, uh . . . the unpopular underground music because the kids, uh, then wanted to hear, uh . . . you know, sweeter, easier stuff. They didn't go for hard, screaming blues or Chicago, uh, you know, weirdness. Nobody knew who the Howlin' Wolf was, nobody . . . you know, Muddy Waters, what the fuck is that? And, uh, so I grew up on that stuff but simultaneously buying, uh, classical albums and, uh, going to the library to study music. I had albums of Stravinsky and Varèse and Webern and Bartók. And I never bought anything el . . . I never bought any Beethoven or, uh, Mozart or anything like that because I didn't like the way it sounded, it was too weak. 我开始打节奏与布鲁斯，当我在圣地亚哥约14或15岁。而且，呃。 。 。我是打不过的蓝色，直到我18岁，你知道，我是真的不停地按喇叭，我开始打鼓了一个乐队，并厌倦了听别人的吉他独奏。拿起吉他，并开始打领先的时候了。然后我用了，呵。 。 。我的音乐的青少年儿童的早期做同样的事情，大部分的，呃。 。 。呃，白蓝调乐队是，恩，拔下来重的面包。但是，在那些日子里，你知道。 。 。这是地下音乐，嗯。 。 。不受欢迎的地下音乐，因为孩子们，嗯，然后想听到的，呃。 。 。你知道的，更甜，更方便的东西。他们没有去拼搏，尖叫蓝调或芝加哥，嗯，你知道的，古怪。没有人知道谁是嚎叫的狼是，没人。 。 。你知道，浑水，他妈的是什么？而且，嗯，所以我从小就对这些东西，但同时买入，呃，古典专辑和，呃，去图书馆学习音乐。我有斯特拉文斯基和瓦雷泽和韦伯恩和巴托克的专辑。我从来没有买过东西EL 。 。 。我从来没有买过贝多芬或者，呃，莫扎特之类的东西，因为我不喜欢它响起的方式，它是太弱了。

   

So . . . eventually I started hearing a little folk music. I didn't like most of the commercial folk music that was around. My taste in folk music was, uh, sea shanties and, uh . . . uh, Middle Eastern stuff. I like Indian music, I like, uh . . . Arab music. So, that . . . that was all my own personal taste-making, uh, influences. 所以。 。 。最终我开始听到一点点的民间音乐。我没有最喜欢的商业民族音乐，这是各地。我在民歌味道，嗯，海窝棚和，呃。 。 。呃，中东东西。我喜欢印度音乐，我很喜欢，呵。 。 。阿拉伯音乐。所以，这。 。 。那是属于我自己的个人口味制作，呃，影响。

   

The original guys in the band had been brought up on nothing but rhythm & blues. Now, rhythm & blues branches out into about four different categories the way we grew up with it. There was the ooh-wah ballad, you know, with the high falsetto and the grunting bass and all that stuff. That type. There's a Chicago blues type with the harmonica and, you know, and the funky-ness. There was a Texas type with a, you know . . . rock, uh, Bobby, uh, "Blue" Bland type thing. And then there was the hard drive type James Brown shit. And offshoots of the, uh . . . of each one of those, like in the ooh-wah classification you've got the uptempo singers where the . . . like Hank Ballard and the Midnighters and the Royales. They had a different type of a thing. 原来人在乐队已经长大了就没事了，但节奏与布鲁斯。现在，节奏蓝调分支出来到四种不同的类别，我们一起长大的方式。这里是户外华民谣，你知道，与高假声和叫声的低音和所有的东西。该类型。还有用口琴芝加哥蓝调类型，你知道，和时髦的烦躁。有一个德州的类型有，你知道的。 。 。石头，嗯，鲍比，呃， “蓝”布兰德式的东西。再有就是硬盘驱动器类型詹姆斯·布朗的狗屎。和的分支，呵。 。 。这些中的每一个，就像在户外议员的分类，你已经得到了快节奏的歌在哪里了。 。 。像汉克巴拉德和Midnighters和Royales 。他们有不同的类型的东西。

   

Uh . . . all the other guys in the group grew up with just that and had no knowledge whatsoever of any kind of classical music, uh, or serious music, the . . . uh, above and beyond Mozart or, uh, Beethoven or, you know, standard concert hall, uh . . . warhorses. And even that, they didn't give a shit about and they weren't interested at all in folk music. And, uh . . . so I had quite a bit of trouble in the beginning, eh . . . just making them aware that there were other kinds of music that we could be playing. To top it off, we were in a, uh . . . very sterile area. We . . . we kept getting fired because we'd playing anything other than "Wooly Bully" or, uh . . . you know . . . uh, "Twist and Shout" or the rest of that stuff. We'd lost job after job. 呃。 。 。所有组中的其他球员只有长大了，不得不承担任何类型的古典音乐，嗯，还是严肃音乐的的不知道。 。 。呃，超越莫扎特或者，呃，贝多芬或者，你知道的，标准的音乐厅，呵。 。 。战马。甚至说，他们并没有给出一个关于狗屎，他们也没有在所有的民族音乐感兴趣。而且，呃。 。 。所以我有相当多的麻烦，在开始的时候，诶。 。 。只是让他们知道，还有其他类型的音乐，我们可以玩。最糟糕的是，我们是在一个，呃。 。 。很无菌区。我们。 。 。我们一直被解雇，因为我们都会打什么比“长毛欺负”或者，呃等。 。 。你知道。 。 。呃， “扭曲和呼喊”或者这些东西的休息。我们希望工作后，失去了工作。

Yeah. And, uh . . . so it was . . . it was rough keeping it together because there's lots of times that, uh . . . the guys wanted to quit, I mean, everybody's quit at least 200 times. So . . . we finally got a chance to come into L.A. and the reason we stood out from the bands in Los Angeles, you know, why we would attract any attention at all at that point . . . 'cuz, uh, we were working out in the sticks, this whole thing was developing out, uh, away from any, uh . . . you know, any urban civilization. We were really, you know, just out there with the Okies. 是啊。而且，呃。 。 。就是这样。 。 。这是粗略的保持它在一起，因为有很多次了，呵。 。 。球员想退出，我的意思是，每个人都戒烟，至少200倍。所以。 。 。我们终于有机会接触到洛杉矶，从我们在洛杉矶的乐队中脱颖而出的原因，你知道，我们为什么会吸引人们的注意，在所有在这一点上。 。 。 因为，呃，我们乡下工作了，这件事被开发出来，嗯，远离任何呵。 。 。要知道，任何城市文明。我们是真的，你知道，只是在那里与Okies 。

   

And we got to town, we expected to find all kinds of, you know . . . uh, all the bands gotta be really far-out. Well, they weren't, they were bullshit and they had no balls, you know, they weren't funky, they weren't, uh, tasteful, they weren't nothin'. They were just, you know, plastic, folk-rock, teenage puker bands. And they were making a lot of bread. And we came on the scene . . . and, uh, we were loud and we were coarse and we were strange and if anybody in the audience ever gave us any trouble, we'd tell 'em to fuck off. And . . . we made our reputation doing it that way 而我们到了镇上，我们希望能找到各种各样的，你知道的。 。 。嗯，所有的乐队得是真的远了。好吧，他们不是，他们是胡说，他们有没有球，你知道，他们不是时髦，他们不是，呃，有品位的，他们没什么。他们只是，你知道，塑料，民谣摇滚，十几岁的puker带。和他们做了很多面包。我们来到现场。 。 。和，呃，我们是响亮而我们是粗糙的，我们是陌生的，如果有人在台下不断给我们任何麻烦，我们会告诉他们滚开。和。 。 。我们做了我们的声誉做这样
