This man wrote some of the greatest and most seminal songs of all tme and with Maybellene started the car and sex metaphor, but in real life he was a parsimonious and perverted old git and unfortunately thats what he has gone in history for. I read a book about him and even the venom he had for little Richard is enough to make anyone cringe. A king yes but more an unpopular one.


Venom for Little Richard huh? For what reason?

There was a 1972 show in London and berry was on last, before him was little Richard who spent more time peeling off one outrageous garment after another and the crowd was getting bored, so by the Time Chuck Berry came out they were nearly asleep until he wowed them with a new song called My Ding a Ling

for real. it is a shame when your behavior in your personal life is so trifling that it overshadows any of your accomplishments.
Remember when that dirty ol' bastard was video taping women using the bathroom?

Chuck paved the way for Rock and Roll AND R Kelly. Now THAT'S innovative. In the words of Keith: "Chuck sure likes white tail." The upshot is he's been married to the same lady for 40 years.

Jerry Lee and Elvis paved the way for men to hang with the Lolita's of the world. In Jerry's case cousin Lolita Mae.





Chuck Berry - Brown Eyed Handsome Man Lyrics

Arrested on charges of unemployment,

he was sitting in the witness stand

The judge's wife called up the district attorney

Said you free that brown eyed man

You want your job you better free that brown eyed man



Flying across the desert in a TWA,

I saw a woman walking across the sand

She been a walkin' thirty miles en route to Bombay

To get a brown eyed handsome man

Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man



Way back in history three thousand years

In fact every since the world began

There's been a whole lot of good women sheddin' tears

For a brown eyed handsome man

It's a lot of trouble was brown eyed handsome man



Beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind

Between a doctor and a lawyer man

Her mother told her darlin' go out and find yourself

A brown eyed handsome man

Just like your daddy, he's a brown eyed handsome man



Milo Venus was a beautiful lass

She had the world in the palm of her hand

But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match

To get brown eyed handsome man

She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man



Two, three count with nobody on

He hit a high fly into the stand

Rounding third he was headed for home

It was a brown eyed handsome man

That won the game; it was a brown eyed handsome man
