B.B. King Tour Stops at the Venue in Hammond
B.B. King's 401(k) must have taken a hit during this economic tsunami. Why else would the 83-year-old blues legend still be working instead of fishing his days away.

Music in America tends to be marketed narrowly, by genre, with clubs and festivals targeting specific musical tastes.
