I’d pass on Chuck Berry being in the top 5. Most of his stuff is just the same riff recycled over and over again.

“I’d pass on Chuck Berry being in the top 5.” Sagan sent Chuck Berry on Voyager.

Chuck himself said it was just Boogie Woogie piano played on guitar.

So - he influenced himself!

My brother went to one of the Indian Casinos a couple of years ago to see Chuck Berry. He said it was so terrible that almost everybody left after 15 minutes.

It got started 45 minutes late. He played a short song that was okay. Then he went into a long introduction of the rest of the band. Then he played some song and asked everyone to join in and sing along. They kept repeating it and repeating it.

“Okay folks - time for a short break...”

The casino reimbursed everyone. Sad to see some of these guys playing past their prime.
