In blues music, the emotion expressed is generally one of sadness or melancholy, often due to problems in love. "Get Off My Cloud" is a pretty early Rolling Stones song. The Stones borrowed heavily from black blues artists, as did Elvis 'the pelvis.' He even 'borrowed' that thrusting hip movement after going to segregated black clubs and studying the performers. What goes around comes around, so they say---whoever 'they' are. This is a 9 by 5.5 inches gel pen drawing with color pencil. It's a highly simplified and, hopefully, pure example of Original Jones Art as he attempts to determine who's borrowing from whom in northwest Austin, Texas.
