Death of a Gunslinger
As foretold here & here, on this very web log, Bo Diddley is no longer w/ us. (Pretty tough, foretelling death. It'll happen to you, you & you, & sooner than many of you expect. Here at the library, for example, the weasel to our left who's coughing up a storm may be going pretty soon.)
This reporter saw Bo at Whitman College in 1971. The man put on quite a show, even sang a few bars of opera in fine voice, & had his daughter w/ him picking a git-fiddle as well. Click above links for photos, as we are prevented from photo activity here at the library.
And just a quick note to Ron Word of the Associated Press: Hey, dipshit, Mr. Diddley's guitar was not "square," it was rectangular. If by "square" you mean, "right-angled" or "not curved" or even "boxy," say so, but if you don't even understand the definition of "square," you might try a less word-oriented line of work, like eating your own boogers in a carnival or something along those lines. Fucking moron. Get a clue, would you?
We can assure you that Bo was no square, nor even a rectangle.

Yeah, no shit. The reporter for NPR quoted the R & R Hall of Fame website that said Bo "played in 5/4". Uh... not exactly.
ReplyDeleteUPDATE -- the NPR reporter misquoted it. The R & R HoF says 4/4.

ReplyDeleteNone of those people know shit from Shinola™. Why if it weren't for us brave souls in the blog-o-sphere...Oh, never mind.
4/6?
