Think it was only a couple of weeks ago I read something asking if Chuck Berry was the oldest living Rock & Roller. RIP.

This is a biggie by any standards. The man was not without his foibles but shit, what an influence on our favourite art...RIP.

RIP great, great man. Original Groundhog Bob Hall who played keys for Chuck was a customer of mine..heard a few tales. What a character. This is a biggie. But nobody can say he didn't have a fuck of a life, even ending it with a new album. Dude.

A true giant of 20th Century music. Without Chuck, no Beatles, no Stones, Elevators, Pretty Things, fuck, no rock 'n roll music. But can everybody please stop using the word 'shit'. I saw 'that' video once and it still haunts me.

Glad to say that i got to catch his act on a very memorable concert date with Joan Jett and Cheap Trick supporting in San Diego, circa summer 1981....
He was the same age then as i am now, and it makes me realize the passage of time, as i recall that he seemed an 'old' man at that time to my 19 year old self....
Time goes by.
Keep on a reelin' and a rockin' Chuck.
Absolutely timeless legacy.

Sad news indeed.
I've always loved the rehearsal scene of Hail Hail Rock'n'Roll when Keith was learning his lesson from the master.

Just read this a few months back.
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/oct/18/chuck-berry-new-album-first-in-38-years
Saw him in Irvine (Scotland) in the mid-eighties. He was brilliant. After the gig, he collected his cash and was driven straight to Prestick Airport to fly back Northwest Orient to USA. Me and a pal trailed Chuck's car the ten miles or so down from Irvine. Pulled up at the "terminal gate" and my mate pressed a slightly alarmed Chuck for an autograph on his ticket stub (I'd lost mine). A bemused Chuck stumped up the autograph.
Class.
