Rock music lost an icon this past Sunday when guitar pioneer Chuck Berry
passed away at the ripe age of 90. He had been a trailblazer in the rock world
paving the way for such rock acts in the 1960's and inspiring many bands to
follow. Without Berry, there'd be no The Beatles, no Rolling Stones or even no
Elvis Presley.
Many of his songs including "Johnny B. Good" & "No Particular Place to Go"
have become synonymous with him. While "My Ding a Ling" was his only #1 hit,
many stations banned it from airplay due to the nature and sexual innuendos.
He may be gone but definitely not forgotten. May his music live on for future
generations.
