YOU FORGOT WHAT'S HIS NAME

Here's my impression of every interview ever conducted about the Blues on NPR:

INTERVIEWER: ...W.C. Handy...Robert Johnson...Leadbelly...Mississippi John Hurt...Billie Holliday...Bo Diddley.

INTERVIEWEE: ...Blind Willie Johnson...Buddy Guy...John Lee Hooker...Muddy Waters...B.B. King...Howlin' Wolf...Etta James...

etc.

There are words where the ellipses are, but they are completely interchangeable from one interview to the next.
