Bo Diddley, dead at 79.




Bomp da-bomp bomp, bomp bomp. Was there any “British invasion” band of the Sixties that didn’t have at least one Bo Diddley song in their repertoire? Maybe only Chuck Berry had more influence on that generation.

    Only with immense self-restraint can I refrain from posting a Bo Dudley you-tube here. Hip.

    I believe the woman on guitar is the Duchess who died in 2005

    Very likely. I almost mentioned her in the post, but then BD played with a number of guitar-toting women and I thought best not to say if I wasn’t sure.
