My favorite Chuck Berry story isn't really a story, it's a joke from the late 1950's, or maybe it was a New Yorker cartoon. We sent up a telecommunications satellite into outer space (true), with recordings playing our planet's greatest music, Caruso, Louis Armstrong, Chuck Berry among others (true), to see if anybody was out there listening. Story is, we received response signal from outer space, and when the greatest scientists finally decoded the signal it said, "more Chuck Berry"!

Beethoven is reported to have stopped rolling over in his grave on hearing the news of Chuck's death.
I am temporarily suspending my policy of not responding to anonymous commenters, to recognize that Chester Burnett was a/k/a Howlin' Wolf.
Duly noted.
