Overrated is right.

He has talent, but the blues greats from my day and my parents day (MANY of whom my late parents KNEW) would play his racist ass up under the table. Hell, he can't carry a Jimi Hendrix guitar case.

I don't know what the hell B.B. King saw in him that made him love him so much. But then again, what did B.B. see in racist ass Lee Atwater? For me, music certainly is all about bonding, and it is also about building bridges, but not with racist pieces of shit it isn't.
