"Would you shut the fuck up. You ain't gonna learn shit if you don't let me talk." Buddy Guy said this to an obnoxious fan, although he was nice about it and he let the drunken lout stay. The crowd, also annoyed by the guy, responded with rapturous applause.
"He's as good as B.B. or Clapton." Fans sitting behind me said this at the show. Buddy Guy is a good guitarist, but he's not as good as B.B. King or Eric Clapton. Those two are in the top five of all time; Buddy, as great as he is, isn't. Still, it's a credit to his showmanship that he can conjure up this sort of hyperbole to the minds and in the mouths of his audience.
