For all of you youngsters, you can thank Bo Diddley not only for inspiring cadences, but for the Rock and Roll you love so much.

G.I. grits and G.I. gravy, Gee I wished I'd joined the Navy! Fair winds and following seas, Bo Diddley.:D

Rest in peace. It is a real tragedy that he never had rights to his own music. For all of those years he never got a penny from royalties. You didn't see him piss and moan in front of the public. Cheers mate, your music inspired many.

I have a really cool CD that includes some stuff that Bo Diddley did back in the day. People have no idea where the concept for a lot of modern music comes from.

RIP Bo Diddley...

A true icon of rock and roll. Had five Bo Diddley albums when I was young. Wish I still had them.

I still miss the "Bo don't know Diddley"... Michael Jordan should thank someone everyday Jackson got hurt...

I saw BD with U2 in 1988 what a great concert...

An ICON will be missed.

RO!!!

RIP
I never heard any of his stuff until after I learned that some of Thoroughgood's songs were covers. As is usually the case, the originals were better.

"He-e-ey-y-y-y, Bo Didley!"

RIP, man.

If he wasn't the true father of rock and roll, I don't know who was. RIP Bo.

If he wasn't the true father of rock and roll, I don't know who was. RIP Bo.

Makes me feel just like I did when I heard about Stevie Ray Vaughn :(

So many have left us, makes me very sad. I fondly remember the old days when many of them were still here making great music.
