Bo Diddley, RIP. I saw him in 2004 (where the Times photo was probably taken), at a monstrous garage rock festival on Randall's Island, impressive as ever, with a guitar I could scarcely imagine without seeing it myself, with so many knobs, sliders, levers, and controls. Too bad no-one ever figured out how to patent a beat back in the 1950's -- he'd have died a rich, rich man.
