Guitarist Bo Diddley has died at 79. The Bo Diddley beat lives on. Hear it in Mr. Brownstone by Guns n Roses, Not Fade Away by Buddy Holly, and Desire by U2.

R.I.P. Bo.

I shared the stage with him (as a spectator of course) back in 1997 at a blues concert at the Kennedy Center. You can actually see me in this video.
