Speaking of Chuck Berry, is he rich? If so he deserves to be.

Anyone know about that?

1. He's a pervert.

Likes to tape people on the toilet.

7. Oh, man, is there more to it than that.

There are other videos out there of some things others would think were more perverted, but carried on between consenting adults (though I don't think the videotaping was). There's a particular quote from one of these tapes that I think is hilarious, but I'm afraid it may be a little too much for DU.

2. If he's not somewhat rich it's got to be his own fault

Early on artists like Chuck Berry were ripped off right and left, but he had a long, busy career after coming back from his little Mann Act problem in the early 60's. I imagine he's got quite a few bucks stashed away.

3. Well, I know he still performs on Wednesdays at the Blueberry Hill.

That could mean he needs money or it could mean he's just an old fart who likes to make people happy by playing cool music. I'm thinking the latter. He's at least an octogenarian by now.

5. He's 86--born October 18, 1926 (wikipedia). nt

6. That sounds right. I didn't think to look there.

4. in the documentary Hail, Hail Rock n Roll he seems very smart

and incredibly money savvy, I would be surprised if he did not manage to get a good chunk of what he deserved.
