The undisputed king of electric
blues is scheduled to play to a
packed audience Friday night at
Centennial Hall.
BB King is one of the most well-
known living blues musicians in
the world, and certainly the most
famous person to ever come out
of the tiny town of Itta Bena,
Miss.
The 2000 census pegged Itta
Bena's population at about 4,000
residents living within a 1.5
square mile area.
Yet the town still managed to
make it into the 2000 Coen
brothers film, "O Brother, Where
Art Thou?"
In the movie, a notorious
gangster terrorizing the the
Deep South stops George
Clooney's character Everett and
his crew and asks them how to
get to Itta Bena.
Name the gangster and the
actor who played him for a
chance to win a set of three
cookbooks.
Caliente is partnering with La Paloma Family Services as Foreigner takes the stage for a benefit concert on Sept. 21, at Tucson Music Hall. Tickets are $35 to $125 through Ticketmaster.
Or you can win tickets.
Here's how:
Videotape yourself singing your favorite Foreigner song. Feel free to enter different songs.
Kelly Hansen, Foreigner's lead singer, will pick his favorites on Sept. 11. His top pick gets a pair of tickets and the chance to meet him before the concert. Hansen will also record a greeting on the answering machine of the winner and the top three finalists.
Readers who enter their videos by Sept. 4 will have a chance to be randomly selected to ride in a limo and have lunch with Hansen when he comes to Tucson on Sept. 9.
