Bo Diddley
 

Bo Diddley passed away at the age of 79.

Gee Flint. Is that really how you feel? Cuz personally I like it when someone just posts whatever they want in a thread without actually having the courtesy to read what other people already posted. I love it when "tailposters" just regurgitate what someone else said a few posts prior, simply because they were too lazy, disrespectful or didn't really care enough to read anyone else's posts/opinions.

But who the fuck am I to say anything?

COCK!

Yves St Laurent snuffed it, too.

All hail the "Bo Diddley beat" - one of the most versatile and interesting drum patterns of the 20th century!

Think of the beat to "Who Do You Love?" (bom, bom, bom; bom-bom)... now flash forward to such diverse popular tunes as "I Want Candy", "How Soon Is Now" (yes, the Smiths played a Bo Diddley beat variation), and even the pinnacle of modern pop drumming, Jeff Porcaro's beat on Toto's "Rosanna" - a cross between the Bo Diddley beat and the Purdie shuffle!

Kenny from South Park died.

Again?!?! Poor guy. :lol:

I was bummed to learn that (author) Robert Aspirin died last week. Not sure he ranks as celebrity though... :neutral:

Now I am bummed. No more Myth Adventures. He was still a youngster too - 61.

Holy shit!! Robert Asprin died! Man, that sucks. I really am bummed about that. :(

I think he does. That guy was my favorite author.:(

Wow, I didn't realize. I met him, too. (Asprin).

His eulogy should all be in puns.

...oh wait... :smack:

Tim Russert

I'm watching the Meet The Press Memorial now

Yeh - Sky, I grew up with him reporting and he was one of the best - no doubt. A real icon in that arena has been lost way too soon.

Visual effects master Stan Winston has died at age 62. He won Oscars for his work on Aliens, Terminator 2, and Jurassic Park.
