I spent an evening with Bo in Montreal. After he finished his show he went straight to the control booth and had a listen. Consumate professional. Perfect gentleman .. we talked until about four in the morning. He had a pick-up band from upstate .. He was living in a trailer somewhere in Florida. He gave much more than he got .. in this life. You a good man, Bo ..
During the winter of 1989/90, I saw Bo Diddley in a small venue bar in Columbus, Ohio just across the street from the Main Gate of Ohio State University, and since I got there early so as to procure a good position (the bar) from which to view him, I'd downed four or five Budweisers by the time he began to play. I was 47 years old and going through a very difficult divorce (is there any other kind?). I recalled when I was about 13 he was fast becoming one of the original founders of R&R. Well, he didn't let anyone down that night with his two-hours of almost non-stop music. I figure that Bo was about 61 at the time but I gotta tell you that he did not slow down during that time. One tune after another and that place was rockin'! What a show and what a performer! A great memory!
Apart from the divorce bit and the booze , I'm totally not a boozer , I'd have liked to have swapped places with you that night . And what was I doing that same night .... probably tucked up in bed with a good .... book 😟 .
Bo, his daughter Tammi, and her band The Offspring used to play at the Hogsbreath Saloon in Gainesville, Florida where I worked shucking oysters in the 80's. They were good friends.
One of the most BAD ASS songs in all of human history! Bo Diddly had to have had crazy high levels of testosterone- the man was a force to be reckoned with.
My Aunts were in a 60's group called "The Results" and toured with Bo Diddly a little bit in '66 with Dick Clark productions. Said he was super cool. The Byrds were on a few shows as well and they of course said Crosby was a total prick. HaHA!!
I sat with Crosby on a flight to California back in 1970, and he was one of the coolest people I've ever met. Friendly, engaging and very generous with his time and ideas. He even gave me some great "candy" which friends of mine and I enjoyed at Yosemite National Park later in my trip. Drugs and bad decisions probably made him "Pricky", but the guy I met was very cool.
@@1blastman It's only speculation, but I would imagine Crosby on a plane flight in the 70's would be higher than a monkey cock...but hey, that's just me.
I guess everyone has good days and bad days. Crosby himself has said he was kicked out of the Byrds “for being an asshole”. But either way there’s no denying he’s made some beautiful music.
I walk 47 miles of barbed wire I use a cobra-snake for a necktie I got a brand new house on the roadside Made from rattlesnake hide I got a brand new chimney made on top Made out of a human skull Now come on take a walk with me, Arlene And tell me, who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Tombstone hand and a graveyard mine Just 22 and I don't mind dying Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? I rode around the town, use a rattlesnake whip Take it easy Arlene, don't give me no lip Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Night was dark, but the sky was blue Down the alley, the ice-wagon flew Heard a bump and somebody screamed You should have heard just what I seen Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Arlene took me by my hand She said, "Oohwee Bo, you know I understand" Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love?

Better than a lumpy bed with a horrible book I suppose..
this man is a national treasure
⚡️💙⚡️
One of the greatest rock songs ever written... SO badass!
Bo was a huge star and influence on rock and roll. If you take him and Chuck Berry and Little Richard out of the equation you have absolutely nothing.
Wrong

Made out of a human skull

Take it easy Arlene, don't give me no lip
Who do you love?

Night was dark, but the sky was blue
Down the alley, the ice-wagon flew
Heard a bump and somebody screamed
You should have heard just what I seen
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Arlene took me by my hand
She said, "Oohwee Bo, you know I understand"
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Three voiceover artists gave a thumbs down for Bo Diddley's guitar getting in the way of their work.
