I heard about his passing during a news break. Apparent heart attack at 79.
Bo & Lucielle will be missed.


Agonizing over what cannot be is an insult to what is.

I love that old Nike commercial with Bo Jackson and Bo Diddley.  It was the one with "Bo Knows ....."  That was really neat.

That's sad news.  I'm glad Rob and I got to see the legend before his passing.  R.I.P.
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

He lived a long full life and contributed so much to music and the world. The Good Lord has taken him to better pastures.
