If you don't know Bo, you don't know ...

RIP Bo Diddley

What is your favorite song with the Bo Diddley beat, or variation thereof?

Mine is probably Moving Away From The Pulsebeat by the Buzzcocks, although I Want Candy by Bow Wow Wow is awfully good.

I admire the man for lots of reasons, not the least of which is the savvy self-irony he wore as easily as a guitar in the "You Don't Know Diddley" and "Bo Knows" ad campaigns of a few years ago.

I can't decide between "Not Fade Away" and "Who Do You Love," but I do think the latter tune is overdue for a raid on the filk room, especially in the midst of a run of Gothic ose...

And the man could get more out of one chord then most could out of many many more.
