Veteran Bluesman George Thorogood Made Commitment to Success
From the Vancouver Sun
George Thorogood keeps on keeping on.
With the non-stop touring Thorogood and his Destroyers, that’s a cliché as well as their trademark.
Of course they tour. Always have and, as long as they’re able, always will.
Well before Thorogood released his first album in 1976 he weighed his future prospects. He had an objective.
“You know, I did,” he recalled. “I made a commitment to be successful in the music business. I thought, ‘What can you do? You do something that will never go out of style. The blues.’”
There is an adage: Playing the blues, you’ll never get rich, but you’ll always get work.

Thorogood excited for Prince George show
For the fourth time, legendary rocker George Thorogood is coming to perform in Prince George.
The force behind Bad To The Bone has struck a good vein in B.C.'s biggest northern city. It is here he is beginning his Canadian tour on April 19.
He finally revealed why, though, and it wasn't the obligatory answer about enthusiastic fans.
"It's the name of the city," he said, his facetious shrug almost audible through the phone. "I've got an ego, c'mon, gimme a little bit here."
What would make grin like a little boy at Christmas would be an official proclamation from city hall proclaiming the town Prince Thorogood for one day.
He added to that joke (well, sort of a joke) with one about how he'd be scoping out real estate prices around Prince George in case Donald Trump gathers any more political power (well, sort of a joke).
