Bo Diddley
I don’t know that I have ever heard one of his songs, although I learned today (via the linked article) that he wrote the “shave and a haircut, two bits” rhythm/melody. You learn something new everyday I guess.
The only reason I even know about Bo Diddley is that roughly 75% of the people that have ever been introduced to me have decided to refer to me as “Bo Diddley” at some point. Without fail, they all think they were the first person to be clever enough to make the connection between my name and his.
Anyhow, rest in peace Bo, and God be with you.
