John Mayall / Otis Rush: So Many Roads



The true secret in being a hero lies in knowing the order of things.
The swineherd cannot already be wed to the princess when he embarks
on his adventures, nor can the boy knock on the witch's door when she
is already away on vacation. The wicked uncle cannot be found out
and foiled before he does something wicked. Things must happen when
it is time for them to happen. Quests may not simply be abandoned;
prophecies may not be left to rot like unpicked fruit;
unicorns may go unrescued for a very long time,
but not forever. The happy ending cannot come in the middle of the story.
--Peter S. Beagle
