Was a hero to some but he didn't mean shit to me.

For those of you who say Goff isn't dumb, I hope you were listening to transition. Jason says Chuck Berry is one of the top 10 songwriters of all time and compared him to Bob Dylan.

Last week Chuck Berry, this week Chuck Barris.....if I'm Chuck Norris or Chuck Woolery I'm being very careful next week, and I'd make sure my affairs were all in order...

Chuck Berry has to be considered hugely influential in the same way that Dylan is.

behind the introduction of Jared whoever they have on talking about Michael Kopec?

That's not what that dope Goff said, nobody would argue that or laugh at his dumbass if he said that. Chuck Berry will never be known for song writing or lyrics.

Did they use his WCW music? Because that one's a jam. He's simply ravishing OWWWWW!

Side note: WCW before Hulk Hogan was weird, huh? Rick Rude and Vader as main-eventers.

I think this might have been when Flair had left for WWF. Around the Rude/Vader years, they had Triple H (TerraRizing) and Stone Cold working midcard. Triple H was very low mid-card. They had some nice workers like Great Muta, Pillman, Rude, Vader, Cactus Jack...

Are you kidding? You could argue that he invented rock and roll. And a lot of his lyrics are far more clever than Dylan's weird stream-of-consciousness rants. Does Dylan have a song better than "Johnny B. Goode"? Certainly not one more important.

That's not what that dope Goff said, nobody would argue that or laugh at his dumbass if he said that. Chuck Berry will never be known for song writing or lyrics. Just CH being his smarmy ass I never gave much thought to his lyrics either but according to Greg Kot maybe we should have. From Kot's tribute... Chuck Berry, who died Saturday at 90, was one of the architects of rock ’n’ roll, as a singer, songwriter and guitarist. More than any artist of the 1950s, his songs exploded with imagery that saw rock ’n’ roll not just as a fad but as the future — a vision of freedom that transcended generation and race. (Maybelline) was as distinctive lyrically as it was musically. In the first line of his first hit, Berry coined the term “motorvatin’,” as if he were bent on reinventing the English language even as he invented rock ’n’ roll. The longtime critic Robert Christgau called him “the greatest rock lyricist this side of Bob Dylan.” Narratives populated with images of cars, girls and school brimmed with humor and underdog charm. At a time when most grown-ups sneered at rock ’n’ roll as mere juvenilia, Berry invested it with poetic power. Rock ’n’ roll, in his telling, was more than just a passing fad, “kids music” that would be dismissed and forgotten in a year or two. In the vision laid out in Berry songs from “Roll Over Beethoven” to “Back in the U.S.A.,” rock ’n’ roll was a world of endless possibility, a promised land where even a poor black kid could be a star. His lyrics invariably identified with teenagers in their endless struggle with adult authority, and championed the idea that fun was just as much a part of growing up as preparing to be an adult. But he also infiltrated the charts with seemingly upbeat songs that painted subtle portraits of racism (“Brown Eyed Handsome Man”) and satirized the workday runaround (“Too Much Monkey Business”). He also celebrated his newborn sound and its break from the past. As an African-American who had his fill of the status quo, there was double-edged meaning when he sang, “Hail, hail rock ’n’ roll / Deliver me from the days of old.” The narrators and protagonists in his songs were inevitably thinly veiled alter egos, never more so than “Johnny B. Goode,” the little country boy “who could play his guitar just like a-ringin’ a bell.” He also demonstrated a feel for Latin music in “Havana Moon,” doo-wop in “Almost Grown” and deep blues in “Childhood Sweetheart.” From 1955 to 1959 he had nine Top 40 hits, an African-American in his 30s who embodied the yearning, joy and frustrations of a largely white, teenage audience.

And a lot of his lyrics are far more clever than Dylan's weird stream-of-consciousness rants. Does Dylan have a song better than "Johnny B. Goode"? Certainly not one more important.

Berry was the basically the inventor of rock and roll...with a touch of sini on the side.

Did they use his WCW music? Because that one's a jam. He's simply ravishing OWWWWW! Side note: WCW before Hulk Hogan was weird, huh? Rick Rude and Vader as main-eventers. Do you mean his debut with the whole Hulkamania redux or do you mean heel Hogan? No, before Hogan got there in the first place, which was what, late '93, early '94? WCW then was barely even a national promotion, they taped almost all their stuff in either Atlanta or Orlando. You had Flair and Sting, of course, but also guys like Vader and Ron Simmons at the top, guys I remember better as buried WWF mid-carders years later. Not to mention Cactus Jack and Steve Austin hanging around.

I'd take Berry over Dylan all day long. I agree. I find Dylan to be severely overrated.

Goff Harrelson: "I tell ya, that Chuck Berry could pen a number one hit in his sleep like nobody's business but he never could connect on a 3 and 2 count like ol‘ Yaz did..."

Bob Dylan owns. Well, everything up through Desire, at least. I'll hear none of this "overrated" shit; I'd prefer to hear "Absolutely Sweet Marie." But the point is, we would never have rock music as we know it without Chuck Berry and Bob Dylan, and I'm sure Dylan himself would attest that he wouldn't have been what he was without Chuck Berry.
