Blues Legend Bo Diddley is Guest Star on Disney Show
Blues legend Bo Diddley will guest star in an upcoming
episode of Disney Channel's original series, "So Weird."
BURBANK, Calif., Sept. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Blues legend Bo Diddley will guest star in an upcoming episode of Disney Channel's original series, "So Weird." The episode,
entitled "Blues," will shoot September 21-22 in Vancouver, and will premiere
Friday, January 21, 2000, 7PM ET/PT on Disney Channel. Set visits and
interviews are available upon request.
In "Blues," Molly's tour is on the way down to a gig at an old Blues club in
Mississippi when Molly, Fi, Jack, Carey and Ned all appear to be channeling
part of the same old Blues song. Fi finds that lyrics to the song give them
clues to evil doings against the songwriter, whose music was stolen by his
murderer. Diddley guest stars as Frank, the record shop owner. The episode also
guest stars Marlene Warfield (Network; Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling) as
Mrs. Clemens, the Blues club's owner.
"So Weird" chronicles Fi, her 15-year-old brother, Jack, and Molly, their
rock star mom, in their home on wheels -- a custom touring bus -- as they
travel across the United States. A popular musician in the '80s, Molly is on a
"comeback" tour and delighted that her children can travel with her. Also
along for the trip are Jack and Fi's friend Carey Bell, his dad, Ned, who acts
as the band's roadie and his mom, Irene, who is the band's manager. In each city
the tour visits, Fi encounters and explores various mysteries of the
paranormal. Fi attempts to solve these mysteries as they arise, using the
website she created, 'Fi's So Weird Website' to gather clues and information.
Other notable "So Weird" guest stars include Henry Winkler in "Boo," Dionne
Warwick in "Lost" and Country music sensation SHeDAISY in "Listen."
A living legend, Bo Diddley is a true pioneer of Rock 'n' Roll and a member of
The Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. For four decades, his unique style has
influenced many performers including The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. In
February 1998, Bo Diddley received the "Lifetime Achievement Award" at the
Grammy Awards.
