How good does it make you feel when you get a second shot at greatness? Invigorating, inspiring, rejuvenating… That was the spirit that the Blues Brothers were trying to coax out of their bandmates. And doesn’t it make you feel a little bit jazzed (pun intended) when you hear the enthusiasm in their voices?

Lest you think this post has any personal or hidden agenda, I’m sorry to inform you that such is not the case for me. At least for now. The Blues Brothers had a higher calling.

Some day, and that day may never come, I’ll let you know if this takes on some personal meaning. Until that day, enjoy these clips from Jake and Ellwood Blues.
