I love Jack Lalanne. How about Lena Horne, Tony Bennet, and, dare I say it kiddees, Mick Jagger?

I admire Keith Richards for surviving. Hey and how about B.B. King?

Have you seen Pirates 3 yet? Keef has a small role in it.

B.B. King is amazing. One of several times I saw him in concert was in Atlanta on his 70th birthday. I was really impressed by how he was still able to work an audience at that age. That was almost 12 years ago and he's still at it.

If you can beleive the old rumors, it seems Shatner had a problem with his co-workers on Star Trek. Nimoy and Kelly had to keep reminding him he was not, in fact "The Captain", but only playing a role.

Tony Bennett

1926

A singer of class, who is so smooth you don't even know it. He recently appeared as a guest on American Idol, and would have won hands down if he had been a contestant!

On tour right now. https://www.bbking.com/events/

But then, Riley B. King has been on tour pretty much ever since he quit driving a tractor in Mississippi.

>>After he was released from the selective service, Riley tried to convince the St. John's Gospel Singers to leave Indianola in search of fame and fortune. It soon became apparent to Riley that if he was going to make his career in music, he would have to make the break alone. The final decision came one night in May of 1946 when Riley had returned from the fields with the tractor. He shut off the tractor, but the engine turned over a couple of extra times and the machine lunged forward, breaking off the exhaust stack. Riley, not wanting to face an angry Johnson Barrett, left town with his guitar and $2.50 in his pocket. He was heading to Memphis on highway 49 in search of his cousin Bukka White ...<<
