Guitar innovator. Sartorial radical. Self-mythologizer. Absolute badass. Bo Diddley pretty much embodied every good idea rock 'n' roll has going. Now that he's gone--he died of heart failure earlier today at his home in Florida, after months of ill health--no one can do him justice in a tribute song because he already wrote them all for himself.
