Bo, you don't know diddley!

He's local (or was) to me ....

totally sucks. for some cool interviews with bo, check out the extra discs on the deluxe edition of Taylor Hackford's film "Chuck Berry: Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll.

Sad, a great one.

Truly a great man gone.

not too many guitarists have a beat named after them: tell a bunch of musicians to play on a Bo Diddly Beat and they know what you are talking about. he was awesome. Anyone remember his cameo in Spinal Tap?

R.I.P. Bo

I only caught him once many years ago...I was impressed. RIP Bo...

Bo Diddley was the feature band at our Princeton University's Senior Prom in 1966.

I have got to say that he was the hardest driving musician I even heard then, and ever since. Dancing to his music was pulsating, driving, scintillating, etc. Whnen he played you danced, and you understood his beat.

Luckily I still have his music on records (remember 33-13? RPM records?).
