B.B. King Gets Key to the City at Bonnaroo

On Bonnaroo's main stage Saturday afternoon, the legendary B.B. King bridged both the generational and genre gap, uniting the audience for a set of American classics. But the big news happened when the Mayor of Manchester, Tennessee, Betty Superstein, came onstage to present the key to the city to the King of the Blues. "I'd like to thank all of you, and especially the Mayor, for this beautiful placard," said the 82-year-old King. Before launching into his next song, King took stock of an overhead helicopter that swooped in. "Is this vietnam?" he asked, then starting the classic 'Let the Good Times Roll.' Most of the 70,000 in attendance were way ahead of him on that front, but it was nice to get the good King's blessing.
