Rock Great Bo Diddley Dies

Really?

 

Who Do You Love? is among his most covered songs, a touchstone for an entire generation of '60s rockers looking to put their own spin in the blues. It has been covered on live and studio recordings by the Rolling Stones, the Band, the Doors, Townes Van Zandt, the Jesus and Mary Chain, George Thorogood and Cross Canadian Ragweed.

 

The Stones' Keith Richards told Rolling Stone magazine that watching Diddley "was university for me.'' .. :)

Bo diddley done had a farm,

On that farm he had some women,

Women here, women there,

Women, women, women everywhere.

 

But one little girl lived on a hill,

She rustled and tustled like buffalo bill,

One day she decided sheâ??d go for a ride,

With a pistol and a sword by her side.

 

She rolled right up to my front door,

Knocked anâ?? knocked â??til her fist got sore,

When she turned and walked away,

All I could hear my baby say:

 

Hey bo diddley, oh bo diddley,

Hey bo diddley, oh bo diddley.

 

Saw my baby run across the field,

Slippinâ?? and slidinâ?? like an automobile,

Hollerinâ??, my baby got towed away,

Slipped on from me like a cadillac-8.

 

Hey bo diddley, oh bo diddley,

Hey bo diddley, oh bo diddley.

I saw him in concert in Wichita in 1969, with Taj Mahoj (sp) and Credence as the headlines. One of the great concerts that I ever attended. Remember the "Bo (Jackson) knows Bo commercials? RIP
