I'm 28, and I've listened to Chuck Berry.
Along with a lot of music that came way before my time.

It should be interesting to see how this all plays out in the near future.

37. As interesting as your being a stalker? Y all a team, or just lovers?
I pray the latter, at least that way you have benefits.

31. the date given for that performance is wrong, btw
Someone on youtube says it was 1955. Not. Those dances, the clothes signal 1960s.

33. WHat's amazing is that he spawned the likes of jimmy hendrix and led zeppelin
and jimi died what, 38 years ago? Zeppelin had most of their whole career and ended 30 years ago? And Chuck Berry plays on.

34. Hail Hail Rock 'n Roll...
It's a video from Chuck's 60th Birthday with Keith Richards and a ton of other legends. An amazing show and look at the man who really broke through genre and color barriers back when segregation and racial stereotypes were the norm.

Chuck's influences...as well as Les' are all over. Just pop on a Beach Boys record or Joe Satriani...Chuck's style continues to shine bright.

Cheers...
