Story sounds flakey.
They accuse an assistant of stealing
$20 to $30 million.And a watch. $30
million wasn't enough - had to take
some jewelry.
Did they check the linen closet? - maybe they
took some towels too.
On the other hand if his urine is orange
he should be seen by a doctor.

Great guitarist and a very nice person even if I only knew him from live shows, he came across as a very friendly man. I don't think there is anyone in show business who had a bad word to say about him. RIP pray

This is a great loss of such a monumental musical figure as well as a first-class gentleman and long-time goodwill ambassador for the blues. I am grateful he was with us as long as he was, especially considering his battles with weight and diabetes. His love of bringing people joy and the blues keep him going. RIP, Mr. King.

L-E-G-E-N-D, I mean, wow, when it comes to the Blues, he was THE KING, THE Nº1

also, if I'm not mistaken, he was the last pre-'60s music legend still alive, right?

autoedit: no, Chuck Berry is still alive, but other than Chuck, nobody else, right?
