One of the comments on article: “you were going to see an 88 year old just what the hell did you expect for him to moonwalk across the stage?” A couple people said it wasn’t really heckling, people were just shouting out song requests...and as noted perhaps having the house lights on distracted BB.
If I make it to 88, hell, I hope I’m still able to LIFT my American Stratocaster.
The man is indomitable... but age takes it’s toll.
The audience should have had a little more respect; half of them wouldn’t be able to do a tenth of what this man has accomplished in his lifetime.
But we live in a graceless age, with a sizable chunk of people who not only represent it, but propel it further into gracelessness.
When we saw him a couple of years ago, it was like the story of his life punctuated by song, which I really enjoyed, but my husband wanted more music.
I used to like to go to his restaurant at the Universal Studios. It was fun.
Now let’s all clap the way BB does, with the back of his hand against his open palm.
Keep on doing what you want to do BB, and God Bless you.
I don’t go to these old bird shows for the performance quality. You go to see a piece of musical history that will soon be gone. Chuck Berry still does shows but no more duck walks from him.
