Ruination of Youth!
Some years ago, when House of Blues was new to the Decatur street area, much of the neighborhood still had many of the, shall we say, unsavory aspects of its earlier days. After sound check one day, a manager of the club was walking Bo Diddley to his hotel room, when they happened to pass a strip club..doors wide open and stage quite visible to any passers-by. Bo walked into the club, right up to the stage, shook his head and stormed out. Once reaching the street, he muttered "Ruination of youth." The manager didn't hear him well, so he asked what Bo said. "Ruination of youth." he replied, "Little children and women can see that garbage. Ruination of youth." The manager replied "You sure it wasn't that syncopated beat of yours Bo?" Bo stared at him for a second before busting out in laughter.
Rest in peace.
