I don't recall if I told this before (apologies if I did). A friend ran a recording studio (he still owns it).
One time, Bo Diddley booked time to record his next CD. My friend acted as producer, which means you get the session band together. He picked some wise guys who wanted to play a joke on the drummer.
They told him Bo "wanted to go in new directions, not the old Bo Diddley beat. So whatever you do, don't play the Bo Diddley beat!". So the drummer exorcised it from his brain.
The session started and Bo had a new songlist.
He said "Gimme some of that Bo Diddley beat", The drummer froze.
"You don't know the Bo Diddley beat? I'm Bo Diddley, man!!!"
