About this Quote

This quote by George Thorogood speaks with the humbleness of the artist. He understands his own limitations and is not attempting to compare himself to the greats. He is not attempting to be something he is not, and is rather content with his own abilities. He is not trying to be like Aretha Franklin or Elvis Presley, two of the most renowned vocalists of perpetuity. He is rather content with his own style and noise, and is not attempting to be something he is not. This quote talks to the significance of being real to oneself and not attempting to be somebody else. It is a reminder that we must all be content with who we are and not try to be something we are not.
