Chuck Berry, rock ‘n' roll’s founding guitar hero and storyteller who defined the music’s joy and rebellion in such classics as “Johnny B. Goode,” “Sweet Little Sixteen” and “Roll Over Beethoven,” died Saturday at his home in an unincorporated area west of St. Louis. He was 90.

Emergency responders summoned to Berry’s residence by his caretaker about 12:40 p.m. found him unresponsive, police in Missouri’s St. Charles County said in a statement. Attempts to revive Berry failed, and he was pronounced dead shortly before 1:30 p.m., police said.

Berry was undeniably a rock n' roll pioneer and a major influence on a number of other musicians, but he was not a good man. Beyond that I will say nothing more.

..."not a good man." As we would say in my youth, a "prick with ears"...
