Rock 'n roll legend Bo Diddley dies at 79
(Reuters)
Rock 'n' roll pioneer Bo Diddley, who banged out hit songs powered by the relentless "Bo Diddley beat" that influenced rockers from Buddy Holly to U2, died on Monday at the age of 79. Some musicians are so influential that if you left them out of any discussion, entire musical categories might collapse. Without Mr. Diddley, it's hard to imagine the guitar becoming a staple in rock-and-roll music. Of course, the way they play rock guitar today is not the way he played, but he was a seminal influence, for sure. Plus, he had some of the most interesting axes.
