Bo Diddley R.I.P.
 

fuck it, one of the very greats.

i always thought it was great he was still alive after all these years.

Wow! He was one of the best for sure. RIP.

godspeed

for real? Damn.
his nickname was THE ORIGINATOR

My eyes grew wide with surprise and a touch of sadness.

bo didley is crazy!

its a real shame rip.

From Bo Diddley to No Diddley. RIP, ya genius and innovator.

There are many names for a guitar: Axe, git-box....OK, only three." Brian Setzer, The Simpsons, "My Strummer Vacation"

this is as good a thread as any, but i always wanted a bo guitar. gretch reissued it like ten years ago, they are so ugly they are awesome.

this is as tragic for rock and roll as the passing of James Brown. Luckily, there is still Chuck Berry!

its a loss to RNR but at least he lived to be 80. i remember during katrina he was lost for a while

Heard about it on the radio this morning, very sad indeed.

Thanks for creating the greatest rhythm of all time.

duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-DUH, jingka-jingka-jing-ka-jing-JING

Bless you.

break out barbed wire kisses............


very very sad news, iif ever there was a living legend, it was bo!

I'm a man,
I spell m-a-n...man.

could somebody upload one of his albums? I always meant to get into him but never had the follow through. Watching those video links I've developed an apetite for his sound now.

well this sucks.
RIP bo.
