Bo Diddley R.I.P.


Didn't get enough respect. All these years later, that groove still works. That ugly guitar with the beautiful tremelo....
I met Bo Diddley down in New Orleans back in the nineties, and what struck me was how goldang NICE he was. I don't know if he took an unfathomable shine to me in particular or if he was like that with everyone, but he was SO damn nice. That's about it as far as my own personal insight, but it was remarkable, so I'm remarking on it....
