As BlueArsedFly pointed out, John Lennon's quote about calling Rock n' Roll Chuck Berry is right on the money.
Today, at the age of ninety, rock n' roll died. For anyone who has ever picked up a guitar, no matter what their genre or niche of music, this is a sad day. This means that the first generation of rockers, who created the music we most associate with being young, is now more or less gone; that leaves just Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis still kickin'. There's probably one hell of a concert being staged right now in the afterlife, with Chuck, Elvis, Bill Haley, Buddy Holly, Bo Diddley, Phil Everly, Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochrane all on the bill. What a show that would be... RIP Chuck Berry: Rock's first true poet. |

We've lost one of the Founders of Rock n Roll. I think it's safe to say without Chuck Berry, and his fellow artists like BB King, Fats Domino, Muddy Waters and Little Richard, there might never have been a Beatles or Rolling Stones.....

Berry covered a lot of old blues songs in his day, from some of the unsung talents of that genre. He borrowed a lot of their licks...then others borrowed his. Jimi Hendrix considered Berry to be one of his greatest influences.

"Well all Chuck's children are out there playing his licks"
--Bob Seger, "Rock and Roll Never Forgets" Many of rock's guitar players picked up the instrument because of Chuck Berry, including Keith Richards, John Lennon and Bruce Springsteen. Jimmy Johnson, one of the co-founders of the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, wanted to play guitar because he saw a local player doing "Johnny B. Goode" and decided he wanted to do that as well. The impact of Chuck Berry on music and culture is incalculable. And beyond. ....On April 22, 1978 during an SNL segment, "Next Week in Review" it was announced that after capturing the Voyager spacecraft, the first alien message received by earth would be this: ...Maxine Universe: Well, uh, Cocuwa -- you predicted every Time Magazine cover for the last two years. Um, what's going to be on the Time Magazine cover this week -- uh, next week -- the Pope's cloning, the nuclear dump disappearance, or the Boone-napping? Cocuwa: NONE of the above, Maxine! You know that my adopted name -- Cocuwa -- means "To help without compensation" in Hawaiian. And I have NOTHING to gain in ANY way from the personal wealth of my great gift. I believe... next week's Time cover... will be about the recent communication from outer space. Kreeg Antwoord: Uh -- uh -- uh, Cocuwa -- I agree with you that it would be the biggest story if the message was of any importance. But we all know how trivial it is. Maxine Universe: Well, what -- you mean a foreign planet will actually send a message next week? Cocuwa: No! A foreign planet actually SENT us a message last week. Next week, the government will reveal the message to the public. Kreeg Antwoord: [ coughing ] You see, it all started on August 20th, 1977, when NASA put up a recording of the sounds of Earth on Voyager I. A two-hour long tape included, uh, natural sounds of animals, a French poem by Gaugliere, a passage from the Koran in Arabic, messages from President Carter, United Nations Secretary Kurt Waldheim, music -- everything from classical to Chuck Berry. Maxine Universe: Uh -- and you're saying that the, uh -- another civilization has found the tape? Cocuwa: Yes. They've sent us a message that actually proves it. It may be just four simple words, but it is the FIRST positive proof that other intelligent beings inhabit the universe. Maxine Universe: Uh -- what are the four words, Cocuwa? Cocuwa: The four words that came to us from outer space -- the FOUR words that will appear on the cover of Time Magazine next week -- are: [he holds up the magazine] "Send More Chuck Berry."
