Nice. BB was the man. I think he had a good full life. I guess we can expect a TV movie soon showing bad shit I dont need to know.
RIP BB. One of the greats. I never met him but a friend of mine used to book him and said he was the nicest man he ever met.
Both "Kings" are gone .
The Thrill Is Gone. RIP B.B.
Saw him 2 X. A wonderful man and great entertainer. He was the only 'King', if you're my age. Any subsequent kings are porch-climbers.
Porch-Climbers, are from the same era as Mr. King and myself. It describes those that get into various venues for free; As in over the railing. I've been listening to him for the last few days. Thanx 2Fast. Good fortune, R3~
I think the king deserves a bit better of a job than a guitar bolted on the side and a tank airbrush job.

Both had several things in common: they were originally from Mississippi, grew up in poverty, and made a name for themselves in Memphis.

I saw him quite a few times. The second time I saw him (at the Apollo) we were talking a few minutes before the show and I asked him if I could have the pick he'd be using that night. I told him jokingly that I'd be watching him to make sure he put it in his pocket and gave that exact one. He almost busted a gut laughing and gladly obliged. To this day I still have it. The day you see it on eBay is the day hell freezes over.
I've always been a huge U2 fan, so needless to say, this is my favorite U2 video:

Thanks for that fabulous video 2FAST. B.B. brought Love To Town all over the world. :wub:
This has gotta be the most heartfelt tribute I've heard.
