Bo Diddley's name isn't mentioned as often these days, not nearly as much as it was when he was alive. Not because it isn't mentioned by a lot of people, because it is. The decline in Bo Diddley references can be attributed to one thing. He's dead. He's no longer singing it, as he did thousands of times when he was alive. Sometimes it seems like half his songs have his name in the title or the lyrics. But that's part of the Bo package, He wrote himself into songs, made some of his own guitars, had his own personal beat, and he recorded and self produced some of his own records, in his own studio. He earned the right to say his own name, as many times as he wanted to. Whenever you hear the name Bo Diddley, don't think of some tireless self promoter, think of the man that practically invented DIY.
