I keep getting distracted from the desire to wish Chuck Berry, one of rock’s few surviving founding fathers, a happy 86th birthday! I know you’re reading, Chuck, I won’t give away your RTH handle.

While Chuck browses today’s content, why don’t you tell him what your favorite Chuck Berry song is? I’ve always had a soft spot for “Almost Grown,” thanks to its appearance on the American Graffiti soundtrack and the change-up to his usual sound it presents.

As for songs Berry wrote but others covered, I’ll take The Rolling Stones’ version of “Around and Around.” The Master could be eclipsed with his own material now and then.
