He walked 47 miles of barbed wire...

Used a cobra snake as a necktie*
got a brand new house on the roadside made from rattlesnake hide
got a brand new chimney made on top
made out of a human skull
now come on take a little walk with me Arlene and tell me who do you love...

Yes, indeed, my pony friends, the great Bo Diddley, (or Ellas McDaniel) who died today in Florida, was one tough chap. He also wrote a number of great songs which were lyrically, made up mostly of his own name. Snoop and Eminem look like rank amateurs against a man who could go from Hey, Bo Diddley to Bo Diddley and not break a sweat. And, of course, he had a square guitar. Yes indeed ponies, it certainly is a case of Bo "broke the mould after they made Bo" Diddley. Here he is being introduced by someone else I recognize from somewhere...





And as an extra sugarlump, here's Bo doing a blistering version of Who Do Yo Love from the La Bamba sountrack. I used to have when I was a foal and it was one of my first expeirences of the chugging glory of Bo's style. Sorry 'bout the lack of visuals, but I think the music stands alone...

*This is not generally recommended due to both health and animal welfare considerations, but is excellent for ponies wishing to appear well tough at weddings this season...
