Yea, just heard about it on NPR.

When I heard "The Thrill is Gone" about 1968 it blew me away. Still one of my favorites of electric blues.

"We are on the precipice of signing an agreement to advance talks with Iran that preserves the good parts of former President Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) while amplifying its flaws.
Mr. Obama came to an agreement that did not involve America’s most precious treasure, the lives and limbs of our soldiers.  The 1.7 billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets released by Obama pales in comparison to the 300 billion being floated as a rebuilding fund.
So far, speculation that Iran will be free in the future to continue its nuclear program is the opposite of Trump’s stated goal for the war and in direct opposition to what Mr. Obama negotiated."

A sad day, I knew to expect it soon after I heard he was in hospice.  :(

A true blues legend, RIP.

This is sad, but he did have a very long and successful career. My mom once met him in Aspen and asked how he got so much emotion into his music and he said, "I try to play every note like it's the last note in the song."

The man is nothing less than a legend.
