In this quote, Peter Tork is comparing pop music to aspirin and the blues to vitamins. Aspirin is frequently used to ease discomfort and pain, while vitamins are necessary for maintaining good health. Likewise, pop music is frequently viewed as a type of entertainment and escape, providing short-lived remedy for the tensions of daily life. On the other hand, the blues are known for their psychological depth and rawness, dealing with much deeper concerns and offering a sense of nourishment for the soul. Tork's comparison suggests that while pop music might provide short-term relief, the blues offer a more meaningful and lasting effect on our wellness.
