back then, if you learned -- b.b.will tell you this, muddy, if he was living -- after you got to the second grade, just enough to write your name and drive the tractor, that is all they wanted you to know. i am here to tell you that's what it was. i got out of it, and i do not read that much, but i just kept my mouth shut and eyes open and ears open too. that is my education. of listening. >> yes. i still do. i learn everything i play by listening to somebody else, and like i say, i was looking for that dime but i found a quarter. yes. tavis: you did this -- i mentioned earlier this new book, "when i left home: my story," is done with david ritz, but you did a book maybe a dozen years or so, in 1999, you did a book that was memoirish, autobiographical. what made you want to take another stab at this? what is the difference between this one and the one before? >> the one before, i think everybody's great, but the guy had more interviews and then they did kind of the true stories that i was -- tavis: you did more interv

back on because you tweeted recently and i quote if it ain't mangere or as direct student eugene vonn b.b. it is a austrian sorry mrs respectively too many mistakes were made now the reason i wanted to comment this is that many americans consider themselves austrian school libertarians but most will be following me he says what are his mistakes i think his mistakes are probably too too great to elaborate elaborate on sort of on the show. but essentially mazes didn't look back to make good as original axiom which was the value is not outside of your own consciousness and he didn't observe what mangere observed about market action in the sense that there are always two prices there's a bid and an offer. didn't like to admit that interest was a market phenomenon. and he sort of wanted to imply that it's a sort of a natural consequence of not having a present good basically. to develop a theory of interest without going back to main goes original observations is not continuing the tradition in the australian way as we would see it so it's it's not insulting or denigrating what von mises has d

sporadic outbreaks of violence the red cross announced its suspending were several major cities in b.b. and after its headquarters in misrata were pounded with grenades and rockets of where it was the fifth time in less than three months in a pan an agency has come under attack in the country a car bomb also exploded near a military police building in the capital tripoli last weekend and a sting operation outside a city saw three men suspected of planning bomb attacks killed dr khan and a columnist at foreign policy in focus says the new parliament is unlikely to bring order to the war ravaged country. i think that country is currently divided into three particular areas the west the east and the south and i think there is no central power so we talk about transferring power i don't know who's going to transfer power and i don't know to whom you're going to transfer it i mean the situation is a market at this point and it is also spreading regionally as well one of the effects of the libyan war has been that. to spread a lot of weapons and a lot of fighters eccentric to other areas in

second great rock guitarist of all time by rolling stone magazine, just behind jimi hendrix, ahead of b.bric clapton. what did he have? what made him different? >> oh, man, it was there from the start. he had this like, it was like some kind of a thread woven in to what came out of his guitar. but it made all the riffs like a continuous story. >> brown: allman brothers band came together and brought out its self-titled debut in 1969. they were seen as leaders in a new style of southern rock, a tag all nba never liked. >> rock-and-roll was born in the south, man. it's like saying, rock-rock. >> brown: you mean it was born from bringing together that... >> four kings of white and rock, two white, two black. jerry lee lewis, louisiana. little richard penman, macon, georgia, chuck berry, st. louis, missouri, elvis presley. >> brown: in 1971, the allmans recorded what is widely considered the finest live album ever made. it would be their ticket to stardom. but just three months after its release, duane allman was killed in a motorcycle crash in their adopted home of macon, georgia. >> my brot

each time sparked by different event events, and in this case, both agree it was children playing with b.b. guns a scenario that somehow escalated into this. both blame each other. and this time, residents fear it is going to last. this woman says that a shell just slammed into their bedroom right on the front line. they are going to hunker down with relatives nearby and no one was hurt, but it is clearly time to go. these makeshift very crude routes are also how families are evacuating. the gunmen say that they are hardly firing back and the other side claims they are showing restraint as well. with gun fire echoing through the narrow streets, it is hard to determine where it is coming from. they reling the us to be careful of the opening right there as we move up towards one of the fighting positions. the sunni gunman says that the allawites are well funded by the syrian regime, and on this side of the gun fire, it is clear where the loyalties lie. a syrian flag on the store front, and a poster on the wall showing people killed since the uprising, and a midst of fear that yet another gen

trip, the voters that matter, that are undecided, and there are only a handful, saw him standing with b.bnetanyahu. saw him at the western wall. had a lot of powerful images and he looks very presidential. and an aide yelling at the press, i'm sorry to have to say, i'm embarrassed to say, is not unusual. we've both been guilty of it and both have almost been fired on multiple occasions. it's just what happens. what's different now there's video cameras on or cell phones on all the time. >> there's a lot of coverage of gaffes that he made or criticisms by the british people about things he said about the olympics. there was controversy about a thing about the palestinians. you don't think that registers? >> what he said about the olympics was a mild version of what the headlines have been screaming. that the security was in shambles. he said it was disconcerting. i guess he spoke the truth. maybe that's bad. ahmadinejad is complaining about his saying israel has the right to defend itself. the labor party in london. if you take the critics, i think he -- i'm going to say, again, i think it

i thought that was the chief reason besides going to israel for a day and getting a picture with b.b. he was going on this trip, to remind americans look, i'm not just some rich corporate tycoon. i also saved the '02 olympics in america. he didn't air any ads about that. there was no effort with the press corps in london to remind us about that. it was baffling he did not seize that opportunity more and to me, that is perhaps the biggest missed opportunity of this trip. >> i think that -- in sports terms, you have a big ten schedule, 11, 12 games, right? you think you got the easy one. this was the easy one and he wasn't up for it, ironically. let's take a look at the interview carl cameron had with romney of fox news. of course, romney took on the press and their coverage of his trip. and that's to be expected. >> i realize that there will be some in the fourth estate or whichever estate who are far more interested in finding something to write about that is unrelated to the economy, to geopolitics, to the threat of war, to the reality of conflict in afghanistan today, to a nucleariz

> her debut album is appropriately titled "out of the shadows," and on a recent summer night at the b.bhe stepped into the biggest spotlight of all. >> a little nervous, you know. i'm in new york city! i've never played new york city before. this is my first time. wish me luck. ♪ was i lost, was i dying, maybe i couldn't see ♪ >> taking center stage like she's been there all along. ♪ >> sending a message with every song. >> if there's something you want to do and there's something you've always wanted to do, go on and take a leap of faith and step out there and do it. >> i love her story. >> yeah! i like that and i like a singer who's lived life, so when she sings soulful songs, you know it's coming from somewhere. >> means something. >> been there, done that. >>> just ahead, live reports from the caribbean as tropical storm isaac makes landfall in haiti. but first, this is "today" on nbc. ♪ >>> still to come on "today," gunfire erupts outside one of new york city's iconic landmarks. what led to 11 people being shot? we'll get a live report. >>> plus, lance armstrong's legacy now that h
