At the Beatles' first American news conference in 1964, a reporter asked John Lennon, ''What are you most looking forward to seeing here in America, John?''
He replied, ''Bo Diddley.''
Rock music wouldn't be what it is today if it weren't for the electric innovations of this man.
Thank you, Mr. Diddley.
