JACKSONVILLE, Fla. —Bo Diddley, a founding father of rock 'n' roll whose distinctive "shave and a haircut, two bits" rhythm and innovative guitar effects inspired legions of other musicians, died Monday after months of ill health. He was 79.

One of the Rock'n'Roll heroes is dead. Although I don't know much about him I know that he was a big influence on all rock artists that came after him, especially Elvis. And just like Chuck Berry or Little Richard he will remain a Rock'n'Roll legend.
(But I must say that 79 is a blessed age, isn't it ? At least, you cannot say that he died too young like many other legends).

My two biggest memories of him were when he was in the Nike "You Don't Know Bo" television commercials, back when Bo Jackson was still a star. And then, of course, he was in the George Thoroughgood "Bad To The Bone" video.
