The city of Jackson, Mississippi has decided to honor a true living legend of blues music, a multi-time Grammy winning, Hall of Famer Bobby Rush by renaming a street after him!! I have nothing but respect for Mr. Rush and his accomplishments, I just hate they couldn't have found a street that doesn't have multiple murders a month on it to honor him with.
From WAPT: A street sign was unveiled Wednesday for the Mississippi blues artist. Ellis Avenue from Interstate 20 to Capital Street is now Bobby Rush Boulevard. The section of Ellis was renamed with the support of the Jackson mayor and city council.
It’s especially significant to Rush, as this is his neighborhood and the community he has lived in for years.
“I’m as happy as a man can be. This is my heaven. I’m so thankful to be around long enough to see a few of the things happen in my lifetime,” Rush said. “The blues is what I do. It’s what I live. It’s what I sing. It’s what I live for. It’s the mother of all music. If you don’t like the blues, you probably don’t like your mama.”
The three-time Grammy Award-winner said he’s extremely thankful to all those who have supported him throughout the years.
