There’s a rumour going around that Bo Diddley is also endorsing Barack Obama from beyond the grave.

glad to hear from the King of Rock ‘n Roll. And glad to hear he’s a liberal. Hail! Hail! Rock ‘N Roll!

Can Chuck Berry even vote anymore? Who drives him to the polls?

To kliff – Trust me, Chuck has done six European tours this year, one city a night, one country a night. His kids cannot even keep up with him. And he insists on driving himself everywhere once he hits each city. He does not like anyone driving him anywhere.

Now that Obama’s made it, it’s interesting to recall, from CB’s memoir, how his father used to caution him that “many a black man dreamed his last dream where he thought he had a right to be”.

America still can blaze a trail for social progress; the countries normally considered more “progressive” than us have yet to reach the milestone that we passed on January 20th.

Old Henry Berry Sr. would never have imagined this!
