1. That was so cool... and I liked the commentary from
the other legends. Chuck was so bright-eyed. And spirited. And alive!

3. Yes, and Marty McFly would be the first to agree.

4. Remember this?
Johnny B. Goode was one of the songs included.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_Golden_Record

The Voyager Golden Record is a phonograph record included in the two Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. It contains sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth. It is intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form, or far future humans, that may find it. The Voyager spacecraft are not heading towards any particular star, but in about 40,000 years Voyager 1 will be within 1.6 light years of the star AC+79 3888 in the Ophiuchus constellation.<1>

As the probes are extremely small compared to the vastness of interstellar space, it is extraordinarily unlikely that they will ever be accidentally encountered. If they are ever found by an alien species, it will most likely be far in the future, and thus the record is best seen as a time capsule or a symbolic statement rather than a serious attempt to communicate with extraterrestrial life.

In a Saturday Night Live segment, Chevy Chase announced that the first message from extraterrestrials was being received. Once decoded, the message stated, "Send more Chuck Berry."

8. I saw him live in 1965 when he first started touring again,

after getting out of prison. It was an awesome show and amusing because he only had second billing. I think top billing was Bobby Vee, someone like that. Before Chuck played there were several groups; it may have been the same night I saw the Chiffons.

He did all the duck-walking, playing behind his head, and other stunts and the crowd loved him, kept calling for more. Apparently everybody had come to see him because when he finally left the stage, after giving us several encores, there was a mass exodus. I felt kind of sorry for Bobby Vee, or whoever, but we just didn't want to see anybody else after Chuck Berry. He was so damned cool, always will be.
