About this Quote

Muddy Waters' quote talks to the value of defending oneself and following one's dreams, even when faced with opposition. His grandmother was likely attempting to secure him from the threats of the music market, but he was determined to pursue his passion. He was willing to take the risk and stand up for himself, despite his grandma's displeasure. He was determined to follow his own path and not let anybody stand in his way. This quote is a testament to the power of self-determination and the importance of following one's dreams, no matter what anybody else states. It is a suggestion that we ought to never let anyone stand in the method of our dreams which we must constantly make every effort to be true to ourselves.
