He's always been one of my favorite drummers. I had the pleasure of talking to him backstage at a show years ago and he's a super cool guy. He was going to be the drummer in a project called 'The Magic Christian' (we Beatle fans know the reference), but I dont believe it ever materialized. I just recently hung a signed drumhead by him in place of a picture of Satan (my ex wife). The drumhead looks much better.
. . . And yikes, looks like this thread has a rather tempestuous history. Maybe I should have started a new one.
