:cry:

This is a clip from 1958. Look at the audience. They don't even know what they're looking at. Undoubtedly, some are wishing someone would stop what that fella was doing to that poor guitar.

These people didn't know wtf hit them:



Chuck Fucking Berry, man.

:mecry::notworthy:devil:

Mom&Popdigr tell me that I used to walk around as a small child singing "Yesterday" & "Maybelline".

How the fuck could anyone with a soul not be toe tappin' or head bobbin'?

Whiter than white.

Chuck Barris, The Gong Show.

My favorite Gong Show act:



Stay til the end, the panelist to Jamie Farr's left makes the whole clip.

He also wrote “Palisades Park” that Freddy Cannon took to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

And The Dating Game.

And The Newlywed Game.

Three years after he started Chuck Barris Productions he was supplying 22 half hour packages to the networks every week.

I saw Chuck Berry in concert in the early 80s at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. It was so cool, absolutely a bucket list show for me. The opener was The Stray Cats. They were new, they were pretty good. My friend and I had fun mocking the guitarist who was playing like a mofo, but not plugged in. We could see his cable on the floor. That was funny.

Chuck Berry was fantastic! So much energy, so much fucking Rock and Roll. He sang, he duck-walked, it was great. The last song/encore (don't remember) was Johhny B. Goode, it went on forever. Kids came up onto the stage and played air guitar alongside him. They danced and duck-walked all over the stage. Chuck Berry just carefully backed up onto the drum riser, still playing, never missed a lick. It was a joyous party. Fucking Rock and Roll.

RIP Chuck Berry.

And he punched Keith Richards in the face for touching his guitar in the dressing room.:lol:

Bad week for Chucks...
