Bo Diddley, a singer and guitarist who invented his own name, his own guitars, his own beat and, with a handful of other musical pioneers, rock ’n’ roll itself, died Monday at his home in Archer, Fla . He was 79. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/03/arts/music/03diddley.html?_r=1&hp&oref=slogin

Great musician. I drove through his hometown in Mississippi once. They had a sign up saying so. I saw him play once in Little Rock at a blues festival. RIP.

Not just that it was the name that inspired Ned Flanders in many of his great speeches.
