<p>Bo Diddley busy inventing all that is worthwhile in popular music. Moonwalking? Women in ballgowns playing guitar? Crazy rhythms? Wearing sunglasses inside? Yep, it's all here.</p>

<p>Theres a lot of influence there on George Thorogood, he mentions on one of his live tracks playing music with a Bo Diddley beat.</p> -

<br><p>I've seen them a few times, as a Sydneysider would, and my undying memory was being at The Metro back in '93 or '94 when they were doing an acoustic concert where as you entered you got to nominate a song (not that they played my suggestion). The crowd by then was very political following the albums <em>Diesel and Dust</em> and <em>Blue Sky Mining</em>. The support band was a trio of women called Tiddas. They took the stage and introduced themselves; <em>'we're Tiddas'</em> to which a bloke more inebriated than everyone else put together yelled out <em>'show us ya tiddas'</em> and he was escorted out as the crowd booed and jeered him. I recall feeling like I was the only person laughing.</p> -

<p>I first saw them in Auckland. It was their Head Injuries tour so it must have been 1979, and Back on the Borderline and Cold Cold Change were highlights that I'd never heard before. They played the Gluepot and I went to all three concerts. Then Sweetwaters (10,9,8..), then Wembley Arena much later. Love the Oils. But yeah, they were the band of choice for many annoying worthies for a while there. There was a woman behind us somewhere at Wembley who spent a large part of the concert lecturing her friends about the depredations of mining companies in Australia. A time and a place lady, a time and a place.</p> -

Talking of Tangerine Dream, a while back I was going to nominate Risky Business as the 80s movie with the best soundtrack. THere was a great Prince track in it called DMSR (Dance, Music, Sex, Romance). And Rebecca De Mornay was in it. -
