RIP Bo Diddley

[AndyK]

Just heard the news (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=axm.A.dHkeYk&refer=us) about Bo Diddley. Without him, much of the rock music we know today may not have happened!

:twisted: God's house band just got that little bit better.

Rest in Peace Bo. A truly amazing guitarist. As someone put it on YouTube: "God's gonna get some real guitar lessons now!"

[Sapphire Lady]

Oh that's sad. I've just read the first couple of chapters of Hammer of the Gods (Led Zeppelin story) and he's mentioned there. He was an influence on so many great rock musicians we know today.

Definitely a big loss...the amount of songs and bands he influenced is endless.

DAMN!!!! I love Bo Diddley and his square guitar.

R.I.P. Bo
