520 |a William James's category of "first-hand religion" allows us to arrive at the religious from an internal and individual perspective, including in those activities and phenomena usually considered secular. B. B. King's 1972 performance at Sing Sing Prison, documented by David Hoffman, brings both the prisoner audience and the performers to an "additional dimension" distinct from the hollowness of everyday (prison) life. In addition, the presence of this intense experience on the YouTube platform creates a fluid community of second-order observers, bound not by any overarching belief but by observation of the experience itself. King's performance is in the genre of blues music, which, in turn, has associations with African religious traditions. While the study of diverse religious traditions helps inform our understanding of the kinds of activities that might constitute the religious, this study takes individual experience as primary rather than as a manifestation of a particular tradition.
