DUNNELLON, Fla. (AP) - Bo Diddley is no fan of rap music.
The 74-year-old bluesman says rap ``is not a thing that's going to last as long as I have.''
``First of all, you can't understand what it is and it has no meaning,'' Diddley told an audience Thursday at Dunnellon High School.
``The lyrics are very disgusting because you are a person, and a person deserves respect,'' he said. ``I have daughters, my mother was a woman, and I don't like what I'm hearing.''
Diddley traded jokes, gave advice, jammed and recruited some new fans from a teenage audience not familiar with him or his hits such as ``Bo Diddley,'' ``I'm a Man'' and ``You Can't Judge a Book by Its Cover.''
He suggested students discover their talents and use them to earn a living and stressed the importance of hard work.
``You've got to hustle, man,'' he said. ``There's a legal way to hustle.
