Bo Diddley passed away yesterday, May 2. I did a post about Bo a couple weeks ago. He was a real original, a pioneer of R&R. His influence can be heard in everyone from Buddy Holly, to the Stones, Beatles, and all the hard rockers. His was not a blues beat, it was a rock and roll beat - didn't swing, just propelled you along on the insistent rhythm, and pounding guitar. I still dig those square guitars! RIP, Bo - they aren't making any more like you.Tuesday, June 3, 2008
