Chuck Berry gave his closing concert last night in a small Danish town, with a band including his own son.
Sadly the reviews in the Danish newspapers are extremely harsh, and according to the reviews the concert was not a memorable goodbye for neither the performers or the audience.
I discovered Chuck Berrry as a pre-teen some 30 years ago, and his music had a large influence on my musical preferences at that time. Hats off for such a monumental source of inspiration and influence spanning more than 6 decades!

No question, a rock and roll icon. I think it's sad to see things like this. Maybe Neil Young is right - it's better to burn out than to fade away...
