"I lived long enough and I ain't scared of dying."

I walked 47 miles of barbed wire,
Used a cobra snake for a neck tie.
Got a brand new house on the roadside,
Made out of rattlesnake hide.
I got a brand new chimney made on top,
Made out of human skulls.
Now come on darling let's take a little walk, tell me,
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

One of the fathers of rock and roll, Bo Diddley died yesterday at the age of 79. Playing a guitar he made himself, Bo Diddley created one of the greatest "beats" in rock and roll. Impossible to describe in text, the "Bo Diddley beat" in my opinion is one of the foundations of rock and roll music. Thanks Bo.
