REMEMBERING A LEGEND: 1928-2008

Breaking ground and beaming with originality, Bo Diddley paved the way for many of the great musicians of our time. Diddley was a Chicago-raised innovator who was credited with giving rock & roll it's beat and influencing artists such as Buddy Holly, The Who, Bruce Springsteen and so many more. In a time when musical originality is harder to find than the Lost island, we salute Bo Diddley's innovation and influence. He will be missed.
