Bo Diddley – Bo Diddley
„Ellas Bates, a guitar player from Mississippi, decided to call himself Bo Diddley and wrote his first song and called it ‚Bo Diddley‘. Then he wrote ‚Hey, Bo Diddley‘, then he wrote ‚Go, Bo Diddley‘, then he wrote ‚Diddley Daddy‘, and everybody loved him because of that ‚dah, dada, dah (pause) da dah‘ beat. He got on the Ed Sullivan Show by promising to play a big Merle Travis hit song called ‚Sixteen Tons‘. Instead he played (guess what) ‚Bo Diddley‘ and got himself banned forever from the Ed Sullivan Show.
He was my hero.“
…und einer der wenigen Ausnahmen unter den Gitarristen, die Simeon noch gelten ließ, nachdem die Reaktionen auf sein Duo größtenteils geprägt waren von Hühnertänzen à la „Rock’n’Roll is‘ nur, wenn Gitarren dabei sind“ und ‚gut gemeinten‘ Ratschlägen wie: „Fügt doch eurem Sound noch eine Gitarre hinzu, dann werdet ihr es leichter haben und die Leute euch hören wollen.“
Danny Taylor zeigte sich in einem Interview noch durchaus entgegenkommend:
„If you listen to a regular album with guitars, it seems as if something is missing from our blend of drums and oscillators. But after you hear the album two or three times, you realize that the oscillator is filling in for the guitars.“
Simeon platzte irgendwann der Kragen:
„GO FUCK YOURSELF AND NO GUITARS IN HERE!“
