What does everybody think of comment #6? Should we keep such blatant promotional comments around, or wipe them clean? Since it on-topic, I'm inclined to say "Leave it," but I'm afraid it might get out of hand. Any other thoughts? 10108@blogcritics.org Tue, 27 May 2003 16:33:10 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/03/28/093853.php#comment-10105 Fans may be interested to know that Bo Diddley, one of the founding fathers of rock & roll and the popularizer of the world-famous "Bo Diddley beat", has just launched his new website and online store. The site, which with typical idiosyncrasy he has named "Bo Bo Diddley's Turnup Root", is located at http://www.turnup-root.com/ In conjunction with his new website, Bo Diddley is currently also shaping up to release CDs of both brand new recordings as well as a series of exciting limited edition collectors' CDs of previously unreleased archive material recorded in his various home studios during the past 40 years. Right now, visitors to his website can shop online at Bo Diddley's Online Store powered by CafePress.com and purchase a range of cool-looking and exclusive limited edition items including T-shirts, sweatshirts, BBQ aprons and "Road Runner" vehicle license plate frames.

Though I may buy it for historical significance. And the fact that it sounds nice. 6385@blogcritics.org Fri, 28 Mar 2003 17:42:04 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/03/28/093853.php#comment-6362 Okay, you can HEAR it free but you can't KEEP it free. 6362@blogcritics.org Fri, 28 Mar 2003 13:53:44 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/03/28/093853.php#comment-6360 Where? I all I saw was the Real Audio clip. I'd love to have an mp3 of it for the collection, if it's a legit mp3. 6360@blogcritics.org Fri, 28 Mar 2003 13:40:29 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/03/28/093853.php#comment-6347 He's selling it, but it's also free. 6347@blogcritics.org Fri, 28 Mar 2003 11:58:25 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/03/28/093853.php#comment-6344 Ha! Directly pointed at Al Barger: though I don't necessarily agree with all the sentiments in the song, the hallowed Bo has written a pro-war song that holds up as a musical work. Unlike Clint Black. No hi-tech GI Joes here. Bo's song almost roused me up a little bit. Not quite, but almost. Downside: Bo is selling it instead of giving it away. 6344@blogcritics.org Fri, 28 Mar 2003 11:23:11 EST
