    He was an inspiration to many of the rock bands that came later.

    RIP, Chuck

    Literally just saw this on the news...RIP, at 90, he had a great run, and Chuck Berry, along with Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis founded a musical genre that will carry their names forward forever.

    Hail, Hail Rock and Roll!!

    Chuck Berry, lead guitarist and singer in that great rock and roll band in the Sky...Heaven be rocking tonight!!

    Can just see God tapping his foot....

    RIP to the founding father of rock and roll guitar. Literally almost every player for years copied his riffs: The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Alvin Lee of 10 Years After-I could go on and on, but you rock fans already know this. My favorite Christmas song is still "Run Run Rudolf."

    Sad another of the greats is gone now. He was an incredible influence on the music many of us grew up listening too.

    I remember this, when Yoko thought she was being ignored, not the center of attention, and not being recognized as the brilliant artiste she is whilst riding large coattails...this is a classic.

    edited to add: and Bill Burr as well, don't remember all that language though...forgot about Bill's vocab.
