Yeah, but not...

Not for these folks over here.

How am I supposed to know

what they want?

This is your captain speaking.

We are now beginning our descent

into Heathrow Airport.

Here we go.

Welcome to London.

I hope you enjoy your stay.

- You all right?

- Yeah.

- A pleasure to see you, Mr. Waters.

- Mr. Waters!

They want you, Mr. Waters. They want you.

We sued Chess Records for back royalties.

And we did all right.

Well, especially me.

Because I wrote all those songs

that Muddy, Walter and Wolf were singing.

I got paid.

And I'm still getting paid.

I made enough money

to buy this here studio.

They were going to tear it down,

but I knew it was history.

I'm a man

Don't matter if you got the upper hand

We made the kind of music

that can grow into anything,

rhythm and blues, rock and roll, hip hop.

Whatever you're playing, baby,

we're right there with you.

Just sprinkle a little blues on it

and it's gonna grow up to be big and bad.

We the hoochie coochie seed.
