Jake had a vision. It was his, the only real one he'd ever had, and he clung to it. It had always been the blues. Even back in the Rock Island City orphanage (that sweaty kid factory) Jake and Elwood were saved by the music. Actually, saved by a gray-haired janitor everybody called Curtis. He wore sinister midnight shades, a narrow black tie and a porkpie hat that he kept pushed back on his head. Curtis wrapped his waxy brown hands around his guitar neck and played the most dangerous blues this side of Robert Johnson. The nuns scorched the brothers’ days with holy threats and Curtis rescued them by night. Down in the coolness of his basement he taught them the blues and set in motion their mission: to live the healing message of music.
Silent Elwood never did put more than two sentences together, but all those lost words burned from his Special 20 blues harp. And Joliet tore that voice from some hidden darkness, twisting his chubby body, snarling at the heavens, a born sinner. They used the basement because it was secret and because the echo gave them a nice dirty sound: Howlin’ Wolf and Little Walker, slapping like a bad dream around the chilly room. And then one night, Jake brought in a gleaming E string he said came from Elmore James’ guitar. He held it tight and as it glowed in the bulb light, Jake sliced Elwood’s middle finger and then his own. Now the solo boys with soul in their blood were brothers. Jake and Elwood Blues … the Blues Brothers.

190 years of my father's fathers born and raised in that same Rock Island City as Jake 'n Elwood. Something 'bout living with that mighty muddy water that's always flowing, always going, never slowing. . . . Age of 11 when my mission from god was revealed to me by John Lee singing 'n playing 'n stomping out the beat with his feet on Maxwell Street . . . No way for me to deny my body 'n spirit experiencing the light of the gods as that Maxwell street boogie surged through me . . . planting thick blue roots in my soulhole. . . .I was set free that day and the blues has kept me that way. . . .Thank you., Brothers Blue.

All right people. The rest of the hard working all star Blues Brothers are gonna be out here in a minute, including my little brother Jake. But right now, I`d like to talk a little bit about this tune you`re hearing. This is ofcourse the Green Onions tune. It was a very big hit in the early sixties in this country. And ofcourse it was composed and recorded in Memphis, Tennessee, right here in the United States Of America. You know, people, I believe that this tune can be acquinted with the great classical music around the world. Now you go to Germany, you`ve got your Bach, your Beethoven, your Brahms... Here in America you`ve got your Fred McDowell, your Irving Berlin, your Glenn Miller, and your Booker T & The MG`s, people. Another example of the great contributions in music and culture that this country has made around the world. And as you look around the world today, you see this country spurned. You see backs turned on this country. Well people, I`m gonna tell you something, this continent, North America, is the stronghold! This is where we`re gonna make our stand in this decade! Yeah, people, I`ve got something to say to the State Department. I say Take that archaic Monroe Doctrine, and that Marshall Plan that says we`re supposed to police force the world, and throw `em out! Let`s stay home for the next ten years people! Right here in North America and enjoy the music and culture that is ours. Yeah, I got one more thing to say. I`m just talking about the music, people, and what it does to me. And that is, as you look around the world, you go to the Soviet Union or Great Britain or France, you name it, any country... Everybody is doing flips and twists just to get into a genuine pair of American blue jeans! And to hear this music and we got it all here in America, the land of the Chrysler 440 cubic inch engine!

And my most listened CD albums (I had to buy them multiple times since I reached the maximum limit of using a CD and the first one stop being usable!) It was also the music I listened when I was at hospital for 1,5 month, and it helped very much. One of the most important reasons for me to travel one day in the USA...

I attended my mother in law’s naturalization ceremony last year as she and about 50 others became American citizens. I thought about the long journeys that they traveled to that point, probably overcoming war and poverty in many cases. Then I saw the joy that these people - almost all of them non-white - got from finally being Americans. It was deeply moving and I personally walked up several of them and congratulated them. Very often it’s the immigrants who appreciate how good they have it in America. It says a lot that even with all of our problems, far more people are trying to get in - even to the point of risking their lives - than trying to get out. Elwood’s monologue is a great reminder of all the good that’s come from America, and that we should be proud of it.

Monroe Doctrine (1823) President James Monroe’s 1823 annual message to Congress contained the Monroe Doctrine, which warned European powers not to interfere in the affairs of the Western Hemisphere. Understandably, the United States has always taken a particular interest in its closest neighbors - the nations of the Western Hemisphere. Equally understandably, expressions of this concern have not always been favorably regarded by other American nations. The Monroe Doctrine is the best known U.S. policy toward the Western Hemisphere. Buried in a routine annual message delivered to Congress by President James Monroe in December 1823, the doctrine warns European nations that the United States would not tolerate further colonization or puppet monarchs. The doctrine was conceived to meet major concerns of the moment, but it soon became a watchword of U.S. policy in the Western Hemisphere. The Monroe Doctrine was invoked in 1865 when the U.S. government exerted diplomatic and military pressure in support of the Mexican President Benito Juárez. This support enabled Juárez to lead a successful revolt against the Emperor Maximilian, who had been placed on the throne by the French government. Almost 40 years later, in 1904, European creditors of a number of Latin American countries threatened armed intervention to collect debts. President Theodore Roosevelt promptly proclaimed the right of the United States to exercise an “international police power” to curb such “chronic wrongdoing.” As a result, U. S. Marines were sent into Santo Domingo in 1904, Nicaragua in 1911, and Haiti in 1915, ostensibly to keep the Europeans out. Other Latin American nations viewed these interventions with misgiving, and relations between the “great Colossus of the North” and its southern neighbors remained strained for many years. In 1962, the Monroe Doctrine was invoked symbolically when the Soviet Union began to build missile-launching sites in Cuba. With the support of the Organization of American States, President John F. Kennedy threw a naval and air quarantine around the island. After several tense days, the Soviet Union agreed to withdraw the missiles and dismantle the sites. Subsequently, the United States dismantled several of its obsolete air and missile bases in Turkey. (Information excerpted from Milestone Documents [Washington, DC: The National Archives and Records Administration, 1995] pp. 26-29.)

Dan's a bit of a freak, mostly in a good way, but now and then he goes over the line (no disrespect) I'm not a big USA fan anyway, so the monologue almost comes across as a joke to me. Which would have been fine, to do it as an act (and maybe he did?) but I get the feeling he was pretty genuine.
