Bo Diddley, the Hoochie Coochie Man, one of the grandfathers of Rock'n'Roll and a staple of the Chicago blues scene, died today of a heart attack at 79 year of age. Diddley was best known for being an advocate of the distorted guitar sound that we've grown accustomed to in today's rock music. He was the only musician in history to have a specific musical beat, or rhythmic pattern, named after him and was one of the most influential musicians of our time.
