Bo Diddley, R.I.P.

I was waiting for someone else to post this as I'm not the best at HTML. Bo was arguably one of the most influential people in rock and roll. I saw Bo open for The Clash on their first tour and it was definitely in the top 3 concerts I've ever seen. I played "Pills" by NY Dolls (written by Mr. Diddley) at a recent wedding attended by a few ridesiders. Dolls also covered "Don't Start Me Talkin", which also kicks ass.
