@obatron1 Yeah, it's so bad it's good. Hey did you ever see the part where The Black Girls were doing this Dance Routine in their Chairs, and these White Girls were trying to Copy them and Two Chinese Girls looked bored out of their minds.
I'm 70 now, seen it & done it (was at the Hendrix Festival I.O.W. ) wore the T shirt But this really turned me on WHO THE FUCK was Bo Diddley I do not know but any one who takes a nanny goat into an alley and cuts its throat just for a rice and beans ambitious in lyrics, I am vegetarian.
@FlashFire20 ... *high five* !!! I'm a "kid of today" too! ... All those artists you mentioned are great ... too bad we have too many singers now and not enough artists! :/
@breadfruitfull I'm a "kid of today" and I prefer rock over rap. Artists like Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Jefferson Airplane, Led Zeppelin...those are the best.
And what happened to Black quitar thrashers? That was awesome. If the white girls got anymore amped, they would be throwing their knickers on the stage. There was Jimmy Hendrix in the late 60s and Living Color in the 80s, but their time in the limelight was far too brief.
@123Samueln7 The record companies segregated rock & roll, thats what happened to them. After all, Jimi Hendrix had to go to England to become a American rock star. A shame isn't It?
@johneverready Do you mean he was ass fuck like a gangsta, or that he was gangsta to the degree of fuck and you're talking like a snake? BECAUSE EITHER WAY YOU ARE CORRECT SIR.
I used to go to see him in the late 50's early 60"s at little dance halls. Had all his records, handed to my son now. He was and is so great. Energy! I remember his "amp" was huge and made of plywood sheets. He blew the roof off the small places. Way ahead of his time.........
@jimwm27 You are a very lucky man. I was born in 1961 so it was about the early 70's when i got into music. I never got to see all these great R&B/Blues artists. I did get to see Chuck Berry a couple of yrs ago. But he was done forgot the lyrics. Still nice to see him. I bet it was so cool back in the day seeing these greats. I love to watch these black & white videos. The time looked so fun especially in little podunk places.
It's no wonder that the Clash, despite the pressures of their record label, chose to take Bo Diddley on tour with them instead of a bunch of cookie-cutter English punk acts. They knew what was real!
They also played with Screamin' Jay Hawkins, which, at that time, boggled their fans' minds (and by boggled, I mean pissed them off). Joe Strummer knew good music. Hell, they even toured with Joe Ely and I automatically like anybody who even knows who any of those mentioned people are these days!
To me Bo Diddley is one of the most undervalued stars in history what a class act, to me he is a Superstar of rock and roll certainly in the top 10, He had the charisma and talent that I cannot even describe! He is one guy that made a difference in this world!

Bo Diddley inspired Don Everly to adopt a driving rhythm guitar style that led to the distinctive guitar rhythms in Bye Bye Love.
