Yesterday night, legendary blues guitar front man and one of the founding fathers of Rock n Roll died of heart failure(79) in his Florida home. Otha Ellas Bates aka Ellas McDaniel but better know as "Bo-Diddley"(received name from his boxing career) career spanned over 40 years with a hand full of hits. His influence preceded his physical acclaim. Like most African Americans, Bo never received the proper acknowledgement for his contribution to the arts but this did not stop the Blues Hall of Famer from touching many souls across the world. Bo's standard issue black hat, horn-rimmed glasses(he swagger splashed on me, true!!), and eccentric rectangular guitar will be missed.

PLEASE STOP DYING!!!!
