RIP. I was just looking over some of his old records and memorabilia at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Sad.

    One of the best - and loudest - shows I ever saw was Bo Diddley warming up for Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers at the Fillmore. That man ROCKED. Coolest part was, during Petty’s show, I’m standing there, and who appears right next to me but…Bo Diddley! I talked with him for a minute; he was super nice and humble. Did I mention how freaking hard he rocked?

    I bet the afterlife just got a lot more fun. R.I.P.

    Wow. Great story, Hugh. I saw Petty last year - he still brings it.
