B.B. King -- RIP

B.B. King passed away, having managed to fully live a full eight decades and a portion of a ninth. The blues legend lived large, sang larger, and played guitar with a unique style. When you heard a B.B. King song, you knew it was his song. His music spoke to human truth and a reality as far away from algorithmic "solutions" as one could imagine.

I never saw King perform in person. However, when I listened to his music, especially his early recordings, I felt his presence. Rest in peace, B.B. and thank you.
