Bo Diddley put the rock in rock’n'roll

By now, it seems like just about every political blog posts occasional music videos. We don’t, but in this case I’ll make an exception:

Check out the dancing in the latter half of the video to get a sense of what made him one of the best musical acts to see live (something I was fortunate enough to do on several occasions over the past couple of decades).

Click the links for other great live-performance videos from the late 1960s, the 1970′s (demonstrating what Jimi Hendrix as a rhythm guitarist would have looked like), and the 1980s. Rest in peace (and rhythm), Bo.

    Only saw Bo once, when he was ill with diabetes. He still put on a great show. Wish I could have seen him with The Duchess. RIP, Bo.
