RIP Bo Diddley

Bo Diddley died today, aged 79. RIP Bo Diddley, may he rest in a square coffin. Another great man has gone.
Thank you Bo Diddley

One of the most awesome performances I've ever seen.. CLICK RIGHT HERE, a remarkable man with a remarkable guitar.

HEY BO DIDDLEY, HEYYY BO DIDDLEY, awesome signature tune.

Introduced by James Brown, another great man gone. Near the end of the song Bo Diddley does some high kicks to the beat of the drum... puts Van Morrison in the Last Waltz to shame!

Bo Diddley... he was a MAN.

EXPLORE BO DIDDLEY.

Me... another one of these great icons passes away; it is the twilight of my idols.

I'm so grateful the world had Bo Diddley.

I'm going to burn some hell-money for you Bo, you ought to have a swell afterlife. You brought me JOY in this life; you brought millions of people JOY. Bo Diddley, a man with a square guitar, he played it like he meant it, and he meant it like he played it... Bo Diddley.
