Memory. Back in mid 70's my buddy Johnnie and I were heading to a weekend festival somewhere in surburban St Louis, Ill. We were crossing a bridge and heard on the radio that the city denied the festival. A moment later it was announced that Chuck Berry had invited the festival to use his 'farm' (park) in Wentzville, MO. It was an amazing weekend.  ;D ;)

 In the 70's I took my wife to be to a Chuck Berry show. We got our seats and waited. The promoter had a check, he wanted cash, he refused to play until paid, it was Saturday evening and the promoters ran all over town borrowing the 1 $2K. ( a lot of money in 72) The backup band finally came out, they were good and after an eternity Chuck got his cash and came out, played 3 or 4 songs, not really synched with the band and left to a quiet house and a few boo's. Knox College 1972.
 I respect him for being a pioneer and love the music, just not so much that night and for a while after.

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

A life not without controversy (armed robbery convictions in high school and statutory rape of a 14 year old later), but a long one at 90 and a huge pioneer for Rock 'n Roll music.
