Few artists left a deeper fingerprint on the sound of modern music than Bo Diddley — the man who taught rock and roll how to move. From the sanctified rhythms of Mississippi and the street corners of Chicago to the national stage of The Ed Sullivan Show, Bo Diddley changed everything. His unmistakable “Bo Diddley beat” became a global heartbeat, inspiring everyone from Buddy Holly and The Rolling Stones to George Michael and U2. But behind that swaggering rhythm lies a story of invention, defiance, and one man’s fearless insistence on doing things his own way.
 
Join me for Bo Diddley: The Beat That Wouldn’t Die — a 1.5-hour multimedia journey through the life, legacy, and legend of one of America’s most original musical pioneers. Through rare interviews, electrifying performances, and unforgettable stories, we’ll explore how Bo Diddley bridged gospel, blues, and rock with a single driving pulse. Discover the humor, genius, and guts of the man they called The Originator — the artist who didn’t just keep time, but changed it forever. Presentation will run 1.5 hours--class will be recorded for replay on-demand.
