Bo Diddley has died...details upcoming

[pissant]

Is Bo Gritz still kicking?

[sinanju]

Lucille!

[caver]

You’re thinking BB King.

[river rat]

An artist with talent, from my youth..
May he rest in peace.

[Rebelbase]

No, that's BB King's axe.

Don't know what Bo called his, but it's got to be the most simplistic guitar shape ever.

[albie]

You’re thinking BB King.

...actually, Little Richard.

[evets]

Rest in peace, Bo.

[joebuck]

"Lucille!"

Isn't Lucille associtated with BB King? I'm pretty sure it's the name of his guitar.

[Mercat]

I actually know the place where Lucille (and her grandchildren and great grandchildren) is repaired. Mass Street Music in Lawrence KS.

[Huck]

RIP BO DIDDLEY! Huge influence. Born in 1928. A rock and roll legend! Helped bring blues/boogie to the world! Love you Bo!

ping

[whitedog57]

Nope. “Who Do You Love?” was his big song influencing rock and rollers like Quicksilver Messenger Service and others.

[Slings and Arrows]

Elias Otha Bates RIP. One of the fathers of Rock 'n' Roll, he will be missed.

[theDentist]

[I see my hands]

Bring it on home, bring it to Jerome.

[bill1952]

Long ago and far away, I went to the Spectrum in Philadelphia to see Chuck Berry, and Bo Diddley was standing in for him.

Fantastic player. Reminds me that I have little time left.

RIP, sir.

[caver]

“...actually, Little Richard.”

I was thinking of BB King’s guitar.

[RexBeach]

When Bo was asked what time it was, he often answered thusly: “Later than you think.”

[SevenofNine]

He was in some movies in 1980s he was in Trading place playing that paw shop dealer that Dan Acryord try sell his watch too

[Neoncon]

B.B. King’s guitar is named Lucille. Little Richard sang a song called Lucille”

[SF Republican]

Nothing like that Bo Diddley beat

[boomop1]

Little Richard.

[wideawake]

King has had several guitars by that name. One of them he gave to John Paul II as a gift.

[dfwgator]

Bo Diddley played the pawnbroker in “Trading Places”.

"In Philadelphia, it's worth fifty dollars."

[Rebelbase]

Saw BB/w Lucille play about 2-3 weeks ago.

[river rat]

"Reminds me that I have little time left."

Don't look forward to the end.
Make the most of the time you have, which was NOT granted to a lot of very brave young men.

We, the living - in America ----- OWE that to them.

[dfwgator]

I’ll always remember the classic Nike ad with Bo Jackson, “Bo! You don’t know diddley!”

[trublu]

I got a tombstone head and a graveyard mind. Just 22 and I don’t mind dyin’.

[Revelation 911]

I met in back in 86 at a local gig - he was pretty cool

[nola61]

Hand-Jive

[Rebelbase]

Pawnbroker: Burnt my fingers, man.

Louis Winthorpe III: I beg your pardon?

Pawnbroker: Man, that watch is so hot, it’s smokin’.

Louis Winthorpe III: Hot? Do you mean to imply stolen?

Pawnbroker: I’ll give you 50 bucks for it.

Louis Winthorpe III: Fifty bucks? No, no, no. This is a Rouchefoucauld. The thinnest water-resistant watch in the world. Singularly unique, sculptured in design, hand-crafted in Switzerland, and water resistant to three atmospheres. This is *the* sports watch of the ‘80s. Six thousand, nine hundred and fifty five dollars retail!

Pawnbroker: You got a receipt?

Louis Winthorpe III: Look, it tells time simultaneously in Monte Carlo, Beverly Hills, London, Paris, Rome, and Gstaad.

Pawnbroker: In Philadelphia, it’s worth 50 bucks.

Louis Winthorpe III: Just give me the money.

[Tribune7]

RIP Bo

[CrazyIvan]

You’re thinking BB King.

You passed up the chance to add “You don’t know Diddly”?

[albie]

I was thinking of BB King’s guitar.

...you are correct. My apologies.

[Tribune7]

HA! Kenny Rogers.

[SevenofNine]

That classic scene in that movie LOL!

[NonValueAdded]

His IMDB entry: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0225775/

[BallyBill]

I saw Mr. Diddley perform at the old Reading Fairgrounds @1970, went with my big sister and her husband. First concert I ever saw. I think "The Platters" were the other performers.

I had just started playing guitar and never saw anything like it.

Thanks for the memories, Bo.

[SE Mom]

Oh dear.

An incredible talent...Godspeed Bo.

[Jim 0216]

I got rattlesnake hide for a necktie...

[Fresh Wind]

Road Runner

Rest in peace, Bo, you won't be forgotten.

[Billthedrill]
