What can you say about a man who's still at the top of his game after all these decades?

Viva BB!

I just saw him in May at the Orlando HOB. What a show!. Loved the way he closed. BB said "the mrs. asked me before I came on did I see a bed on that stage? I replied 'no maam'. She then asked Me 'do you see a pillow out on that stage?' I said again, no maam. She then said 'then you better not spend all D@mn night on that stage! "

I just had to see this legend before it was too late, and I am infinitely glad I did

"Only in America can someone make a fortune off of playing the same 3 notes"?

Yeah, but nobody in America can play those same 3 notes like BB can.

I think a little Steve Goodwin ditty is appropriate here

Cue the blues rip:

My baby came to me this morning....
And said, "I'm kinda confused...
Y'see if me and BB King was both drownin'...
Which one would you choose?"
I said "Whoa, baby"...
I said "Whoa, baby"...
I said "Whoa, whoa baby"...
"I ain't never heard you play those blues!!!
