Bo Diddley 1928-2008.

MANDATORY BO: From 1960.

IN HIS PRIME BO: “I want everyone to repeat after me: Heeeeyyyyyayayayayyyaaaaayyyyyyy!”

Thanks, Bo.

I WENT THROUGH EVERY ONE: A beautifully organized collection of bottlecaps, that you need to see for a couple reason. One, that most of it is “newer” or “contemporary examples.” Okay, with that said, we move on two the second point. Two, check out how the older ones contrast the new crap, and, how they beat ‘em over and over again. Damn.

Here, here and absolutely right here. (Thanks to Leaper and Sturgill for keying me into these humdingers.)

REQUIRED READING: Westerbergs talks about the Replacements a whole bunch, without all the snotty digs. Good reading. Greatest band of the ’80s, hands down.

Tons of cool, old wrenches for sale over at The Wrenching News. Good stuff.

BOOKMARK THIS ONE, YOU LUGHEADS: As well as the “Guide for Identifying Markings Found on Collectible Wrenches.” Just about everything on that page is great. Wow.

You ever go to sleep with Bo Derek and wake up with Bo Diddley?
