I could see that Bukka was born to be a bluesman, and I wondered if the same was true of me. I worried that I didn't have his talent - or the talent of someone like Blind Lemon or T-Bone. I felt something beautiful inside Bukka's soul. Even if I didn't follow his style, I was moved by his sincerity. He loved telling stories, and used his blues to tell them. His blues was the book of his life. He sang about his rough times and fast time and loving times and angry times. He'd entertain at a party for two hundred people with the same enthusiasm as a party for twenty. Bukka gave it his all. His music had a consistency I admired. Like all the great bluesmen, he said, I am what I am. I wondered if I could be that steady and strong. B.B. King on Bukka White

Bukka White lived in the days when prisoners wore stripes. Changing his clothes in this context is not about funk, but it is about cleanliness. It's about clothes employed as a mark of shame that the whole world can see.

Finally, and most cruelly of all, it's about someone's arbitrary decision that you are filthy, and will only be clean again when the jailer gives you back your street clothes.

If you don't know when that's going to happen, your sentence is indefinite.

This is Bukka White with "When Can I Change My Clothes?"
