B.B. and Bonnaroo
I have been lucky enough to attend five Bonnaroos, and each one has a special memory for me. This time around, however, might be the most important for me for one reason - BB King. Not only did i finally get to see him live, which was phenomenal, but i got to meet him and get a photo. Thanks to the fearless Pete Shapiro, I have a fantastic new desktop image at home. I thought BB's set was great on many levels: the crowd response, his vocals and guitar, getting a key to Manchester (very classy I might add), and his comedy ("the girls all think i'm cute and talk to me now, but where were they fifty years ago?").
I hope everyone took full advantage of the opportunity to see this legend while he's still around . . .
