While we're getting all hot and bothered about upcoming musical festivities, let's not forget about the King. Of the Blues, that is. The Mayor's Office of Special Events has just announced that 82 year-old B.B. King will headline the final night of the 2008 Chicago Blues Festival. The living legend topped the bill back in '88, so rest assured he knows the drill.
The Chicago Blues Festival will feature 100 performers over six stage in Grant Park from June 5-8. The best part? B.B. is free, free, free.
