Bo Diddley


Recommended Posts

In another Bo Diddley thread, a couple years back, [/smallest] bazooka]Some of the things that have fascinated me about Bo Diddley are:

His nerdy appearance combined with the unmitigated braggadocio of his songs (a facetious self-parody that I think became another feature in some of Rock music that followed).

His unusual appeal to Rock-and-Roll-hungry white teenagers, in the face of competition from much "safer" acts.

His under-recognized impact on the evolution of Rock, and the great number of famous artists that openly acknowledge Bo's influence.
