From MC Hammer to Chumbawamba, the 1990s produced some memorable musical moments. But when is it too early to look back?

And we'll speak with Steve Knopper, music and business reporter for Rolling Stone magazine. He'll be by to help take the pulse of the blues. Blues greats RL Burnside and Clarence Gatemouth Brown have just died, and on Friday the legendary BB King turns 80. Is the delta blues tradition dying out? Who are the younger musicians who are carrying onthe tradition?
