The Blues Boy Turns 80!
Long Live The King! :D
"A lot of people think that when you play blues, it's only because you're blue," King said. "I can play blues and feel better because blues to me is sort of like a tonic. It's good for whatever ails you."
"We all have idols. Play like anyone you care about but try to be yourself while you're doing so."
"I've said that playing the blues is like having to be black twice. Stevie [Ray Vaughan] missed on both counts, but I never noticed."
"I don't think anybody steals anything; all of us borrow."
~ B.B. King
