    Default RIP Chuck Berry

    Wow, a true legend. One of the reasons we have Rock and Roll IMO.

    Amazingly talented and influential musician, who sadly is more remembered by some folks for his particular fetish which I won't go into but can easily be googled.

    Definitely influential. Fortunately, I didn't know about his fetishes. I thought the reference made to him in the movie Back to the Future was pretty good. RIP

    It was like the whole Johnny Carson Show was with Chuck Berry. Three songs and great interviews.

    Also great was the homage to him in Ocean's 13 when Don Cheadle (as "Fender Reckless") invokes Chuck Berry's famous six word edict - "pay me my money......in cash"

    "He received a lifetime achievement Grammy in 1984 and was among the first inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986." - He is truly the father of rock and roll. RIP Chuck Berry.
