Buddy Guy turns 90 today.
His mother's stroke pulled him from school as a teenager. When he left Louisiana in '57, he promised her he'd make it big and come back in a polka-dot Cadillac. She died before she ever saw his success.
Years later, he had Fender build him a polka-dot guitar to carry her memory everywhere he plays.
Still touring at 90. Damn right, he's still got the blues.
