B.B. King

I want to start talking about the shows that I actually get to see in person. B.B. King came to dpac and put on a great show.
Here is my take on it. The audience was filled with a majority of white people. Nothing wrong with that at all. There were also many children present. Their parents wanted them to see history. And history it was simply because this 85 year old man was performing his chart topping hits from before they and probably their parents were born.
The King talked about his life, his beginning, and the time he has spent traveling and performing.
I think what made this person seem more realistic to me than a myth was when he brought his granddaughter on stage and she gave him a kiss. That brought humanity to him and his music. The fact that his nephew performed with him, shows a side to music that most people don't see. He is making sure his music lives long pass his death by including his family.
The thrill really isn't gone and if you ever get the chance to see B.B. King perform I highly suggest buying the ticket to the venue nearest you.
