Thats to bad, the legends and founding fathers of rock & roll are becoming fewer and fewer. I dug his appearance in the George Thoughrogood, "Bad To The Bone" video.

I remember the commercials they did with him and Bo Jackson. "Bo knows this, Bo knows that. Bo, you don't know diddley!" Being a younger sort, that will be my memory of him.

While I wasn't a big fan of him per se, I respect the influence he had on much of the music I enjoy. Rest in peace, Bo.

Bo in his day.

It's strange, but that's one of the things I remember most about him also. :1orglaugh
