RIP, Bo Diddley

Damn.

Gone, but not forgotten. Here’s a classic:

Notable quote:

Diddley had harsh words for the direction black music had taken in recent years, telling Reuters that “gangsta” rap made his blood boil.

“I hate it. I call it rap-crap,” Diddley said in a 1996 interview. “I can’t seem to get my records played but they’ll play all this garbage.”

Amen.

RIP.

    I saw him play a free concert at the Central Park Summerstage about 15 years ago. In the middle of the set he delivered an anti-drug tirade. He got a standing O for it, and then went back to the music.

    He knew what destroys communities, and what builds them up.
