Chuck Berry - Dead At 90



Let's be honest here. One man invented Rock and Roll and it was Chuck Berry. How do I know this? Because the White Man only steals the very best from the Black Man and Chuck was the shit right from the beginning. He created a new way of playing music. His influence on so many generations of musicians cannot be charted but his place at the head of the line is all but assured. Sure he played the same songs his entire career and never felt the need to change with the times. Something comforting about that.

That's the clip that cements my loathing of Yoko Ono.

Okay, that's a mix where they took out her sound...

Thank God. Yoko is a train wreck.

Chuck Berry is, alas, the poster boy for cultural misappropriation. RIP

I don't think it was misappropriation at all. A bit mercenary, but we all benefited from it.

Yes we did. Gave the generations more to fight about. Damn long haired hippie musicians.
