Donald "Duck" Dunn Quotes:

  • Elwood Blues: [addressing the rest if the band] You may go if you wish. But remember this: walk away now and you walk away from your crafts, your skills, your vocations; leaving the next generation with nothing but recycled, digitally-sampled techno-grooves, quasi-synth rhythms, pseudo-songs of violence-laden gangsta-rap, acid pop, and simpering, saccharine, soulless slush. Depart now and you forever separate yourselves from the vital American legacies of Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Jimmy Reed, Memphis Slim, Blind Boy Fuller, Louie Jordon, Little Walter, Big Walter, Sonnyboy Williamson I and II, Otis Redding, Jackie Wilson, Elvis Presley, Lieber and Stoller, and Robert K. Weiss.

    Donald "Duck" Dunn: Who is Robert K. Weiss?

    [the rest of the band shrug]

    Elwood Blues: Turn your backs now and you snuff out the fragile candles of Blues, R&B and Soul, and when those flames flicker and expire, the light of the world is extinguished because the music which has moved mankind through seven decades leading to the millennium will whither and die on the vine of abandonment and neglect.

    [he walks off, followed by Buster, Mack and then the rest of the band]

  • 'Bones' Malone: [to Donald Duck Dunn and Steve the Col. Cropper] Guys this caller sounds familiar.

    Steve 'The Colonel' Cropper: [Elwood starts talking about their topic which is two time criminals getting severely punished] Elwood Blues, nowhere to run.

    Donald "Duck" Dunn: Nowhere to hide!
