SNAKESKIN SHOES, PUT 'EM ON YER FEET
.....the good time music, the Bo Diddley beat.
Nobody has left a bigger mark on popular music than Bo. He will be missed. Jackson plans to mourn in celebration of his life and legacy. Yup, Grand Marnier tonight.....

I am a big fan of the Bo Diddley Beat, but as a songwriter he was overrated. He was lucky to have been around when it all got started because nobody would probably know who was if he hadn't.
As perennial Smoke & Mirrors session drummer Ron Machold will be happy to point out, Bo Diddley didn't invent the "Bo Diddley Beat." He will tell you that this is a fundamental clave in all music and that there are examples in all kinds of African and Caribbean music.
Then, his eyes will glow red and his skin will melt off, revealing a shiny metallic skeleton with the words "Cyberdyne Systems - Model 102" printed on the neck.
