on our show last week we commemorated the life and music of the one and only bo diddley. at gender fatigue we like rock n roll, and we like to give credit (in case you haven't noticed) - so let us once again say that black folks created rock n roll. folks like bo diddley and little richard, chuck berry, muddy waters and so many others. and as so many others have said - that distinctive sound of his is so infectious!!!
which made dj bent think of this song, featuring such a bo diddley beat!
but then she discovered that it was originally done by a group, the strangeloves, back in 1965!!! but of course, they were using the bo diddley beat....
damn i love those dancers.
and how great is it that he always toured with an amazing woman on bass!!!
anyway, mothersheister and bent are committed to keeping the memory of bo diddley and his phenomenal contribution to music well known, in spite of his fears that he would not be remembered after his death. long live the bo diddley beat!
