OMG that's amazing I knew he was old but... still he's probably the worlds greatest guitarist ever.

B.B. King had a very funny moment at the 2007 Grammy Awards.
He appeared with Steven Tyler and Joe Perry to give an award to
Outkast. Steven and Joe introduce B.B. King and King says, "Thank you
boys. That meant a lot. I gotta tell ya. I've been an Aerosmith fan since
I was a kid."
