I saw Bo Diddley in Jacksonville, Florida last year with some of my family. At nearly 80 years old, Bo had everyone on their feet clapping and groovin’. One point in the show, he got up from his chair, and walked behind the drumset. He grabbed some sticks and played these impressive African/marching styled rudiments on top of his drummer's beat. The show was fun and I felt I was supposed to be there.Up until his death, Bo Diddley was bitter about Elvis Presley getting the birthing of rock n roll credit. Truth is, Elvis ripped off Bo’s act, Buddy Holly stole his glasses, and the biggest of bands have all used his shave and a haircut to bits beat.

If you ever pull a stunt like this again, Lucas Laws, you'll be bobbing your lumpy little head at another Bo Diddley concert! LIVE! In HEAVEN! WITH A FULL AUDIENCE OF DEAD PEOPLE! OF WHICH YOU ARE A PART! BECAUSE YOU ARE DEAD!
