R. Crumb blues card of Mr. Blind Lemon

The word ‘Morphine’ comes from the word ‘Morpheus,’ who is the god of dreams, and that kind appealed to us as a concept...I’ve heard there’s a drug called ‘morphine’ but that’s not where we’re coming from...we were dreaming, Morpheus comes into our dreams...and we woke up and started this band...we’re all wrapped up in this dream messages, and we were compelled to start this band.
