I just saw on the news the passing of John Lee Hooker. One of the absolute legends. His influence is never given all that he deserves. He invented Bo Diddly. He is the ultimate hero of Van Morrison. Hes one of those cats that his music sounds so simple yet no one could ever really duplicate his phrasing because it was always so unpredictable. The rhythmic infrastructure of his songs was along with Robert Johnson a huge part of the ingredients of the 60s blues rock. I will miss him. Marcel
