Does anyone else find it sad that B.B. King is doing Buger Kind Ad's now?

I hope he isn't doing it because he NEED'S the money.

He's a Legend!!! And one of the best Bluesmen of all time!

Come on every body go out and BUY some B.B. King CD'S!!!

Uhhh OK?

And I suppose your better?

If that statement weren't so obviously uninformed I might take offence.

What kind of music do YOU think is worthy?

OK :)

Pardon my misinterpretation of your statement.

I'm sure he can do either one quite well when doing them at different times. Doing them at the same time, he may not be as good. But I still think he's a great musician. ;)

I caught him and Buddy Guy at a concert awhile back. I'd seen B.B. play about 10 years ago. He's definitely aged a LOT in the last 10 years. He can't play standing up anymore. He has to sit down now. Of course he's earned it IMO. Still was a good show though (even though he was late and kept us sitting out in the rain for about 30 minutes :( .)

I did say it to bait folks; I intentional misled you.
Sorry.
I am pretty sure he doesn't ever play while singing, not even poorly.

I saw them togather as well.

Buddy Guy is great also!
Stevie Ray Vaghn played at the show I saw too.

What a loss it was to the musical world when he died!!

One guy that really blows me away is Chuck Barry. What is that guy, something like 120 years old? And he still rocks the joint, and duck walks across the stage while he does it!!

He probably gets paid more for the commercial that from the royalties from his CD sales.

Trying to guilt us into buying stuff to support him, without even knowing what the situation is
that led him to make the commercial?

Come to think of it, I have never seen him do both. Interesting.

I was just thinking that earlier today. I know he is probably getting paid well but it's still kind of sad.

Far be it for me to guilt trip anyone. ;)

If you like his work, buy it! :)
