Top Notch book by Daniel de Vise. I love the story telling, exhaustive notes, seldom seen photos, and a worthwhile rating of B.B. King's discography. I'm interviewing for the Adult in the Room Podcast next week. I'll post it here when I'm done.
From De Vise's web page:
"“No one worked harder than B.B. No one inspired more up-and-coming artists. No one did more to spread the gospel of the blues.” —President Barack Obama
“He is without a doubt the most important artist the blues has ever produced.” —Eric Clapton
Riley “Blues Boy” King (1925-2015) was born into deep poverty in Jim Crow Mississippi. Wrenched away from his sharecropper father, B.B. lost his mother at age ten, leaving him more or less alone. Music became his emancipation from exhausting toil in the fields. Inspired by a local minister’s guitar and by the records of Blind Lemon Jefferson and T-Bone Walker, encouraged by his cousin, the established blues man Bukka White, B.B. taught his guitar to sing in the unique solo style that became his trademark. In turn, generations of artists claimed him as inspiration, from Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton to Carlos Santana and the Edge. King of the Blues presents the vibrant life and times of a trailblazing giant. Witness to dark prejudice and lynching in his youth, B.B. performed incessantly (more than 15,000 concerts in 90 countries over nearly 60 years)—in some real way his means of escaping his past. Several of his concerts, including his landmark gig at Chicago’s Cook County Jail, endure in legend to this day. His career roller-coasted between adulation and relegation, but he always rose back up. At the same time, his story reveals the many ways record companies took advantage of artists, especially those of color. Daniel de Visé has interviewed almost every surviving member of B.B. King’s inner circle—family, band members, retainers, managers, and more—and their voices and memories enrich and enliven the life of this Mississippi blues titan."

In the latest Adult in the Room Podcast, former Trump lawyer, John Eastman, was targeted by the left for representing the president after 2020. Here's a highlight (lowlight) from the program about how the incredibly absurd levels the DOJ and lawfare regime went to get a legal gotcha. It's a real head shaker.
*Eastman had skin cancer surgery which is why he's wearing a bandage.
ON THE LATEST Adult In the Room Podcast: Attorney & legal scholar John Eastman served as an advisor to Donald Trump’s campaign team during the 2020 election cycle. After questions were raised about the validity of the election results in many locations, Eastman proposed a path for the team to contest the results. Now, for submitting what many of his supporters say was merely a thought exercise at worst, Eastman is facing indictments in multiple states and a federal charge that still hangs over his head as of this episode being published, in the wake of Donald’s Trump’s historic string of Day 1 executive orders ...
Who really is pulling the strings of the Democrats?

This lie is going around again because Kamala's campaign is pushing the whopper that Trump called nazis "Very fine people" at a protest over tearing down statues.
Watch the video proof showing that he did not.
Have a nice day.
And even though I think Snopes is a morally and ethically bankrupt organization, years after the lies began it finally corrected the record.

So strange. I guess people are just tired of funding people who are trying to kill us and our country.

You just can't make this up.
"In Washington State, Gov. Bob Ferguson stands to lose federal funds over allowing boys on girls' teams. But he's recently proclaimed a budget deficit and in the same breath gave a $4 billion raise to state employees, and then gave those same employees — who already work for the state full time — a furlough day to "save money."
