[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1230263, member: 3828"] Seriously? Musical relevance is completely relative. (to you, not them). Isn't being an epic musician enough? Does one also have to be a role model? Although I grew up in the, now metrosexual Boston area, my first and true musical love has always been for the blues. For some odd reason I couldn't relate to the modern music unless it also had a blues angle to it. When we were teens just barely old enough to drive we would jump in a car and ride into Somerville or Cambridge and hit the black blues clubs. Maybe because we were so young, so clearly into the music, and not pains in the ass the (mostly ethnic) patrons didn't give us a hard time at all and mostly left us alone. And they would serve us beer. BB may not have been the best blues frontman ever, but he was certainly the best known. Anything that gets people to appreciate the blues is a good thing IMO. RIP, BB.
