    Wasn't Bo in Hank Jr's "All My Rowdy Friends" video too?

    And Blues Brothers 2000.

    My favorite was, "You Can't Judge A Book By Looking At The Cover."

    Damn. Another legend I won't get to see.

    I think I'll crank up the Diddley, right now.

    RIP, another Mississippi legend.

    Best non-Bo use of the Bo Diddley riff: "Not Fade Away" (Buddy Holly and Stones versions), "Desire" by U2.

    I guess God needed an old bluesman who once appeared in a Nike commercial.

    This sucks.

    Just listened to "Gunslinger" on Sirius while ago. Guess that's why they were playing it.

    Sad day.

    Because I just heard. (don't ask)

    And because he deserves more kind words from those enjoyed his music and more kind words who were inspired by his music.

    Sirs, Madames,

    My fave: Bring It to Jerome

    Fave cover: Zevon doing Bo Diddley's a Gunslinger.

    Sigh. Zevon, Strummer (his fan) and Diddley, RIP, RIP and RIP respectively.

    I have a few BD titles on vinyl, old singles to boot. Just the Best-of on CD.

    YD&OHS, etc
