Sad to see Chuck Berry go – he was massively influential and incredibly listenable as a guitarist, lyricist and bandleader. He lived a full life, 90 is quite the ripe old age for a rock n roller.

I remember years ago seeing a Ringo tribute to Chuck which included a duck walk. Although it’s not quite the same as I recalled, since I found It I’ll go ahead and post. The scene is at the 33:30 mark a-hard-days-night-ringo-7

That Ringo show is a great find. I love Ringo but that Yellow Submarine dance routine around the 16:50 mark is so cringeworthy.

Sad news indeed.

The Liverpool Echo reports that he suffered a heart attack at home this afternoon at the age of 75.

I imagine John is giving him a hug and showing him around, glad to see his oldest friend again.

RIP Peter Shotton.
