RIP Chuck Berry. OMG, what can one say for such a man? I think, for me, it comes down to this: (1) Where (oh where) would the world be today if rock and roll never happened? (2) And where (oh where) would rock and roll have been without Chuck Berry?
Energy, animal genius, force of nature... My one encounter with him: I was on the sidewalk with him 30 years ago (almost exactly) the day he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame across the street from Capitol Records (I worked at Vine and Yucca) and have a couple of private anecdotes and observations.
Bottom line, he left the world reelin' and rockin'. Chucky B. Goode!
He was bon October 18, 1926, 6:59 AM CST, St. Louis, MO (Rated B, from his autobiogrpahy).
A Libra-Aquarius (there's that Aquarius Moon again - Elvis, Michael, Prince... see a pattern?), Mars in Aries. For a man whose fingers were miraculously gifted, his closest angular planet is Mercury, less than a degree. Sun and Mars are also (widely) foreground. Venus 0°08' from square Pluto and a degree or two from trine Jupiter. Moon 0°59' from trine Pluto, and both of them exactly sextile Mars.
Sex sells!
