No mo' Bo.

I can't be the only one who finds it terribly, terribly ironic that the inventor of the Bo Diddley beat died of heart failure.

I saw Bo Diddley in Toronto with Chuck Berry and Little Richard at some kind of Rock & Roll Legends show back in '89. I was there just to see Chuck, for the most part, but Bo Diddley was amazing...bashing that little cigar-box guitar with full crunch distortion and the amps cranked up to 11. He rocked the joint.
Godspeed Bo.

I wish I'd seen him. I also wish I played guitar, so I could use my grief as an excuse to my wife to justify buying one of these (warning, audio).
