This is actually also in the obituary linked here.
There's no way it's anywhere near as superficial as he makes it sound -- that's definitely just self-depreciation. I can't imagine anyone working that hard to teach, work with, and publicize other bluesmen simply because it brings in more money, especially at his age/wealth.
Joe Bonamassa sticks out in my mind as one of the people BB King really worked with.
- spike021 11y agoI don't know the history, so I could be wrong, but maybe when he explains that he means he did it as a way to sustain himself (and family I'd assume), rather than it being better-paying just for the money. It could be that it started for that reasoning and then later once the style had become his life, he stuck with it. Again, could be completely wrong so take of that what you will. Just my opinion.
