I'm just just gutted. First my buddy Boss Goodman and now his good friend Bo. All I can do is put it down the way it came off the computer. (But hey, Boss is recovering, okay? So...)
DES MOINES, Iowa (from HCB) : Bo Diddley is in intensive care after suffering a stroke in Iowa, a publicist said Wednesday. The 78-year-old singer-songwriter-guitarist and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer was listed in guarded condition at Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska, said Susan Clary, a publicist for the musician's management team. Diddley, who has a history of hypertension and diabetes, was hospitalized Sunday following a concert in Council Bluffs in which he acted disoriented, she said. Tests indicated that the stroke affected the left side of his brain, impairing his speech and speech recognition, Clary said. Clary said she has no other details on Diddley's condition or how long he would be in intensive care.
Here's Bo live!
Shit! That piece of bad news cancels out the "cheer up - here's Bo Diddley" link from the 15th. But as you say Boss is recovering!
