Now this is a real bummer. But I can't really chalk this up to 2017 being a dick. The guy was 90 and that's a ripe old age.

Aww.

Now I won't be able to twist again, like I did last Summer.

Sadly, this is how I'll always remember Chuck Barry:

As least now we can pee in peace.

^Jesus Christ.

I'll mostly remember him for stealing his sound from Marty McFly.

Saw him live on stage in '92.

He almost cancelled the show because he didn't like the opening act, a local rock pianist who'd support him for the show. The actual Chuck Berry show started after an impromptu break of 45 minutes that said pianist turned into a concert of his own. Berry showed up on stage after the organizer dragged him back from the hotel on contractual obligations.

How's his cousin Marvin?

...Twist again? Oh,you whippersnappers.

Johnny B. Goode won't be the same. Nor will Maybelline.

On December 23, 1959, Chuck Berry is arrested in St. Louis, Missouri, on charges relating to his transportation of a 14-year-old girl across state lines for allegedly “immoral purposes.”

I love his music, but I can't separate the man from the music. It will always be tainted in my mind.
