5 am with Bo Diddley and the iPod Touch

5 am-   Chillin playing with new iPod touch listening to old Chris Pirillo rant about original iPhone and how much it sucks ass. Seriously if bought an original iPhone, you got completely ripped off!!! The 3G is a million times better.
 
MUSIC-  Just downloaded Bo Diddley collection from the iTunes wi-fi store off the iPod touch and its frickin great!!! The self titled song "Bo Diddley" and "I'm a Man" are fantastic and give you an overall jist of the man Diddley. Not only is he a skillful guitar player that is very underrated, he's a very capable singer (Rolling Stone put in the top 100 singers of all time list). His music has a real home spun sound with sprinkles of blues and dashes of jazz. Listening to Bo Diddley is like taking a trip in a time machine, and finding yourself in an underground dancehall in 55'. After listening to the compilation I started to realize how many musicians are influenced by him let alone the genre of Rock and Roll. I give it 4 1/2 out of 5. If you have the means download it right now!!! You won't regret it. If you are a musician, there is a treasure chest of goodies that Bo Diddley has you can add to your repertoire. Get it!!!! Get it!!! I am a better person for discovering Bo Diddley.
