BB King's daughter has accused his manager of abusing him.

Patty King said the blues legend's long time handler Laverne Toney refused to let her take him to hospital after he'd suffered a heart attack.

According to TMZ, there is an ongoing battle between Patty and Toney, who lives with the 89-year-old in Las Vegas.

You have to be a pretty awful person to abuse BB. Everyone loved BB.

Boy, that's for sure.

Elder abuse is awful.  Just awful!

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

I have seen B.B. in concert numerous times.  What a great guy, it seems.  I saw him in Milwaukee and his D string broke while in the middle of a riff.  He adjusted and never missed a beat.  Once he was able, he replaced it while barely looking at it.  All the while, he was telling a story.  He gave the broken string to a lady in the front row.  It was how seamless he handled it that was so impressive.  My wife and I still bring it up from time to time. Lucy is just an extension of him, a means to communicate.

A person who abuses another, especially the powerless, is a notch less than human.

My favorite - a collaboration with U2 and Bono...

You're very lucky. I have only seen him in concert on one occasion. I love him, and I'm playing along with and praying for the man right now on this Friday evening.  May the thrill never be gone...
