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.
