Have you heard? Bo Diddley
I'm a day late and a dollar short in noting the passing of eminent blues/rock 'n' roll guitarist Bo Diddley.
A sad part of his story is that the music industry was far more late, and far more dollars short, in compensating recording artists like Bo Diddley. I remember hearing what amounted to a lecture (and then a song) on this subject by Microwave Dave a few years ago at the Bessie Smith Strut.
Although it can be argued that these artists got paid what was in their contracts, it is also pretty clear that many of them were tricked into the terms.
Rest in peace, Bo Diddley.
