The amazing stories of a superstar that only someone like BB could write. The story of his life is, indeed, fascinating-how he worked his way up to as many as 290 shows per year how Lucille got her name how he had 17 children by 17 different women (or did he lose count?) how he wrecked a tour bus into a bridge at 4:00 am without insurance. ![]() I have read other autobiographies by Johnny Cash, Steven Tyler, Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, George Carlin, but this was by far my favorite. And then fearing for his future there, he leaves his wife, runs away and rides a bicycle all the way to Memphis, Tennessee.
