On Friday evening, our family had tickets to see the blues legend B.B. King at Mystic Lake. This was a major disappointment — B.B. could only converse with the audience (he sang three songs partly and did complete a "You Are My Sunshine") with audience participation. I realize this man is 88 years old, and that in itself is an accomplishment. His days of performing before a paying audience should be over; let's remember him for his gift as a blues legend.
Who is to blame here — Mystic Lake or the promoter — for this ripoff of the public? People left the event in large numbers, with B.B. saying he wasn't done yet.
Yes, he is.
MARY ROBINSON, Mankato, Minn.

Should Metro Mobility even be thought of as supplemental?
Develop the service further and maybe it could help fill any vacuum of an Uber/Lyft departure. At least it would serve riders better.
