Bo Diddley used to drink this whiskey called Rock and Rye. It had an apple core at the bottom of the bottle, much like the worm in Tequia or the gerbil in Richard Gere. Anyways, when he used to travel by coach, he’d put his guitar in the bunk and he’d sleep in the seat.
One more thing, he got ripped off bigtime. He once said, “A dude with a pencil is worse than a cat with a machine gun.”
