I find his lyrics almost miraculously good - and underrated, despite his legendary status. They're so wonderfully detailed and specific, witty and/or poignant, and always perfectly measured. Something like "You Never Can Tell" sounds more like Noel Coward or Cole Porter than the blues. Although I love Little Richard and his awopbopaloobop, I sometimes wonder what music today would be like if Berry's descendants had tried harder to emulate his words more than replicate his chords.Nick Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18113940103104310990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38548109.post-11685452116323968512007-05-04T12:05:00.000+01:002007-05-04T12:05:00.000+01:00Fantastic clip.

It was in the gym and they made us sit on the floor."<BR/><BR/>From his facial expression and the position of his right hand, it looks like the lad front right is playing some very early air guitar.<BR/><BR/>Just when was the air guitar born? Now there's a Radio 4 documentary for you.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14029131747151415931noreply@blogger.com
