Kultral notes

It is not the Beagle's policy to comment on every dead and dying rock n roll icon, but we will say that Bo Diddley was a great American. He was banned from the Ed Sullivan show long before the Doors, he wrote some of the great romantic ballads of all time, including "Who do you love?," and he was the populizer of hambone or juba music. Some tributes consider "Say, man" to be precursor to rap, but we all know when the first real rap record was recorded.
