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!

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!

Wow, I didn't realize. I met him, too. (Asprin).
His eulogy should all be in puns.

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.
