Click Track reviews B.B. King's performance at the Birchmere on Saturday night; the blues legend is supposedly still touring because "his young great-granddaughter 'loves money.""

TBD puts together a brief history of musicals about racism. "Rodgers and Hammerstein were leaders in raising awareness of social issues through their music, and others have followed suit"—I suppose there's no room for a brief history of musicals about colonialism, at this time, anyway. Also on TBD: "Local director seeks cash for post-apocalyptic Bollywood film."

Das Rascist is performing at the World's Fair Use Day next Thursday. Says We Love DC: "Their panel on fair use in hip-hop is one of the earlier items of the day, later followed with discussions about fair use in visual art, gaming, and finally humor – where Cheezeburger’s Ben Huh will be speaking." I can haz...copyright permissions?

News you've been really, really waiting for: Prince of Petworth heralds the return of "sweet chalk art."

Here on Arts Desk, we review a year of One Track Minds and look at DC Short's new Brazilian...theme, that is.

Ever the bearer of bad news, I'd like to alert BPB readers to another rock 'n roll fatality: This time it's Merl Saunders, who passed away last Friday at the age of 74. Complications from a stroke sidelined him in 2002, effectively ending a remarkable career that included luminous collaborations with Miles Davis, B.B. King, Mike Bloomfield, and Jerry Garcia. His keyboard stylings combined an earthy rhythm-and-blues approach with a jazz aesthetic and, in the early 90s, a surprisingly unregrettable foray into New Age-style fusion.

For anyone interested in the remarkable, decades-long, "let's make David Grisman jealous" collaboration between Saunders and Garcia, check out the Legion of Mary sessions and the Keystone concerts. Of special note: Saunders' fat, swirly Hammond on Dylan's "Positively Fourth Street" (below, from the Keystone). Troppo largo, perhaps, but a textural improvement over the already lovely Kooper-era original.
