Chuck Berry was rock’s greatest practitioner, guitarist, and the greatest pure rock ‘n’ roll writer who ever lived.

It started with Chuck Berry. He inspired us all. The 1st album I bought was Chuck’s “Live at the Tivoli” and I was never the same.

I met Chuck Berry in 2011, wished him happy birthday. He said, “May you live to be 100, and may I never die,” and laughed uproariously.
