2. "(Bo Diddley's A) Gunslinger"
Not really. I just dig that tune, but my favorite is "Who Do You Love".

5. Bo Biddley
The alternate song with lyrics: I Want Candy by the Strangeloves and Bow-Wow-Wow.

The inspiration for the beginning of How Soon is Now by the Smiths

I must go with this one.

9. He performed at a little venue here, maybe 6 months ago?
We saw him. Loved him, his personality shone right through! So sweet, and funny and cool. We were right in the front (Mr Fuzz made sure to get seated near the speakers, since he's deaf. Deaf, but loves music!)

Bo Diddley got a kick out of watching us signing to each other, and I was signing some of the songs for Mr F.

Love that pic!

11. Road Runner, Road Runner
That is my fave, but I picked I'm a Man although I prefer "Mannish Boy" by Muddy Waters
