The reasons:

Jimmy Yancey - Les Paul - RL Burnside - The Beatles - Jimi Hendrix - Little Feat - Led Zeppelin - Captain Beefheart - Cream - Muddy Waters - Robert Johnson - Little Axe - Howlin' Wolf - The Stones - Hot Tuna - Alvin Youngblood Hart - John Peel - Tom Waits - Louis Armstrong - Neil Young - North Mississippi Allstars - Johnny Winter - Panama Co Ltd Jug Band - Wilko Johnson - John Lee and a whole host of others I can't think of right now...and that's before I get on to all the books and movies and comics and tv shows and all the stuff I like which is in the long run probably very bad for me...
