I just watched B.B. King receive the Medal of Freedom. That's sweet! I saw him perform back in '94. The guy's just phenomenal.

I'm not even a big blues fan, but I can listen to him play Lucille all freakin' day. :cool:

I've seen him twice...he's coming to town again soon, so it shall be thrice. A lot of rockers get pretty lame as they age....but no so they Blues men and women. I saw John Lee Hooker when he could hardly stand...Bo Didley when he had to be helped to his chair...and it was utterly fantastic.

So maybe...if you want to age with style...you should start playing the blues? :D

Wasn't he born in the 20's?
