A Quote by Dhani Harrison

It's true that when I was younger and I first got interested in music, I used to read books about the Stones and the Beatles and how they listened to Muddy Waters and people like that when they were starting out, who are much less well known now than the Rolling Stones. The Stones really changed blues.
You look at somebody like Frankie Edgar and you think, 'oh, that little guy,' this and that. But these guys, they want it.
