For those who recently suggested that 53-55 is getting up there, here's
excerpts from our paper today about Bo Diddley:
Diddley said he had no musical influences growing up. "I don't like to copy
anybody. Everybody tries to do what I do, update it. I don't have any
idols I copied after." But many artists, including The Rolling Stones, The
Who, Bruce Springsteen, Buddy Holly, George Michael and Elvis Costello
copied Diddley's style. "They copied everthing I did, upgraded it, messed
it up. It seems to me that nobody can come up with their own thing. They
have to put a little bit of Bo Diddley there," he said.
Touring at his age doesn't trouble him. "Seventy ain't nothing but a damn
number," he said.
