Thats a real shame one of the all time blues greats, my favourite number of his was Can't Judge a Book. RIP

Re: Bo Diddley dies at 79
Totally gutted...a true one-off. A huge influence on The Stones, The Beatles, The Who, Bowie ("Gene Genie" was directly inspired by him) and many, many more.

I'll tip my hat to him next week when I visit Chess Studios where he recorded all his classics.

RIP Bo.

Disgraceful. As the Official Monster Raving Loony Party's Shadow Minister for Real Rhythm & Blues, let me assure the general public that when we are elected this sort of thing will not be tolerated!
