I first saw Bo perform in 1970. A friend had an extra ticket to a 50's rock-n-roll revival type concert and I agreed to go just to have something to do. I was into real heavy Hendrix/Led Zeppelin type rock at the time and I was pretty sure I'd just be bored 'cause I was way to cool for that 50's shit. Bo blew my socks off. Bo was cool.

Bo is still cool. Bo is so cool that a few years ago he, a Rock-n-Roller, was the headline act at the Florida Folk Festival. Bo rocked.

Bo does a helluva lot of playing for free for charities in the Gainesville area. Bo is one helluva nice guy.

The fact that Bo Didley is a fellow Floridian sorta cancels out the fact that Jeb Bush is one too.
