Now lets hear the story of Bo Diddley. And the Rock n Roll scene in general. Bo Diddley was born Ellis McDaniels. In a place called McCoom Missississipi about 1926. He moved to Chicago about 1938. Where his name was eventually changed to Bo Diddley. He practiced the guitar everyday and sometimes into the night. Till his papa's hair began to turn white. His Pa said "Son listen hear I know. You can stay but that guitar has just gotta go". So he pulled his hat down over his eyes. Headed out for them Western Skies. I think Bob Dylan said that. He hit New York City. He began to play at the Apollo in Harlem. Good scene there everybody raving. One day one night came a Cadillac with four head lights. Came a man with a big long fat cigar said. "C'mere son I'm gonna make you a star". Bo Diddley said "Uh..whats in it for me?". Man said "Shut your mouth son. play the guitar and you just wait and see". Well that boy made it he made it real big. And so did the rest of the rock n roll scene along with him. And a white guy named Johnny Otis took Bo Diddleys rhythm. He changed it into hand-jive and it went like this. In a little old country town one day. A little old country band began to play. Add two guirtars and a beat up saxophone. When the drummer said boy those cats begin to roam. Oh baby oh we oh oh. Ooh la la that rock and roll. Ya hear me oh we oh oh. Ooh la la that rock and roll. Then in the U.S. music scene there was big changes made. Due to circumstances beyond our control such as payola. The rock n roll scene died after two years of solid rock. And you got discs like ah.... Take good care of my baby. Please don't ever make her blue and so forth. About ah one year later in a place called Liverpool in England. Four young lads with mop haircuts began to sing stuff like ah.... It's been a hard days night and I've been working like a dog and so on. In a place called Richmond in Surrey whay down in the deep south. They got guys with long hair down their back singing. I wanna be your lover baby I wanna be your man yeah and all that jazz. Now we've doing this number Bo Diddley for quite some time now. Bo Diddley visited this country last year. We were playing at the Club A Gogo in Newcastle our home town. The doors opened one night and to our surprise. W alked in the man himself Bo Diddley. Along with him was Jerome Green his maraca man. And the Duchess his gorgeous sister. And a we were doing this number. Along with them came the Rolling Stones the Mersey Beats. They're all standing around diggin' it. And I overheard Bo Diddley talkin'. He turned around to Jermone Green. And he said "Hey Jerome? What do you think these guys. Doin' our..our material?". Jerome said "Uh where's the bar man? Please show me to the bar...". He turned around the Duchess. And he said "Hey Duchess...what do you think of these young guys. Doin' our material?". She said "I don't know. I only came across here. To see the changin' of the guards and all that jazz.". Well Bo Diddley looked up and said to me. With half closed eyes and a smile. He said "Man" took off his glasses. He said "Man that sure is the biggest load of rubbish. I ever heard in my life...". Hey Bo Diddley. Oh Bo Diddley. Yeah Bo Diddley. Oh Bo Diddley. Yeah Bo Diddley.
