HOME: Home of the Big Beat.

AGE: As old as the jungle, as young as Bow Wow Wow. PROFESSION; Diddley Daddy.

HOBBIES: Gunslinging, roadrunning, crackin’ up, lookin’ for a. woman, playing a weird looking guitar, racing with Jerry Lee to see how many times he can mention his own name in a song!

LAST BOOK READ: “You can’t judge a book by the cover!”

LAST ACCOMPLISHMENT: Writing the same song a thousand times, and still making it sound different.

QUOTE: “Who do you love?”

PROFILE: Bursting out of the Chicago blues scene, Bo was rockin’ before there was a “rock ’n’ roll,” and a teenaged Elvis could often be found in his audience. He invented and trademarked a rhythm and beat that’s been used by everyone who’s ever rocked—from Buddy Holly’s “Not Fade Away” to the Who’s “Magic Bus” to Bowie’s “Panic In Detroit” to Elvis C’s “Lover’s Rock” to Bow Wow Wow’s “I Want Candy” and X’s “Big Black Sun,” they all owe a debt to Bo Diddley!

BEER: Boy Howdy!
