Take yo daddy by the hand

Classic footage! Doesn't it feel like Bo's looking at the freaks combing their greasy mullets and thinking, 'WTF?' 'Mona' (albeit the Stones version) was one of my mostest favorite songs as a kid. Get well soon, Bo.

Bo Diddley -- 'Road Runner/Bring It to Jerome/Mona' (live 1972)

BONUS -- Bo Diddley -- 'Hey Bo Diddley'
Holy shit, my man is tearing it up! Love the backup chick playing rhythm! This is a blistering performance from back in the day when that used to mean something. He's even doing a proto-moonwalk kinda thing (that the producer instantly cuts away from). On the one hand I love the fact that teeny-boppers from my mom's era liked the rocking good stuff; on the other hand, did they ever shut the fuck up and listen?
