Bo Diddley Suffers a Stroke...

...and, get this, he is hospitalized just twenty blocks away from where I am right now. He suffered a stroke last Sunday while preforming at a casino in Council Bluffs (just across the river from Omaha, about a fifteen minute drive from my Grandmother's if the traffic is good), and has since regained the ability to walk, but still isn't able to speak. And so, because of this, it is very possible that the Council Bluffs gig will end up being his last public performance, and so one of the last times anyone outside of his circle of friends will be able to see him or hear him play. And nobody seems to care!! Seriously, people are more excited about Shrek 3 coming out this weekend.

So, what do you think are the chances I'll be able to get my cousins to swing me by Creighton Medical Center sometime in the next couple of days?
