http://www.bbking.com/default.asp -B.B. King still has the blues at 80-
B.B. King turns 80 on Friday, and while he's surprised to still be actively playing music, he has no plans to stop, either.

DETROIT, Sept. 15 (UPI) --
"It can't go on forever," he says. "The law of averages says every guy has to cut it out after awhile. But I intend for it as long as possible, as long as my health is pretty good. I'm a diabetic, but other than that, as long as my health is pretty good, I can get along pretty well.
"People still buy my records and come to my concerts. I wouldn't have bet you that I would've got over 50, but I'm happy to be here."
King's birthday coincides with the publication of a memoir, "Treasures." He recently released "B.B. King & Friends -- 80," a duets album that features collaborations with Eric Clapton, Elton John, Gloria Estefan, John Mayer, Sheryl Crow and others.
