Bo Diddley 1928 - 2008
I really should set up a “dead celebrities” category. Here’s to Bo, one of the founding fathers of Rock and Roll. Sad to see that he was so bitter about not getting the money he thought he deserved. I guess it’s like The Beatles. They were so good, nobody thinks twice about ripping them off. Noone shoplifts from the dollar store.
Bo Diddley died of heart failure today at age 79. He will be sorely missed.

I went through a blues-loving period, but I didn’t know diddley back then, and I don’t know diddley now.

I never really got into the blues much. I mean, I bought the Robert Johnson Complete Recordings, but only because the Village Voice said I should
One thing for Bo, he was way better than the overrated Stevie Ray Vaughn that everyone fawns over to this day.
