He's also hilariously insane. I'd love to knock back a few drinks with him.
Yeah I'm sure he is an interesting, I will have to check out those drummers. I saw the band Tauk a few months ago when they opened for Umphrey's McGee, that have a great drummer.
Always dug his story. Today, in the age of internet revolutionaries whose only form of action is to "tweet" something...people need to read about artists who LITERALLY were sticking their necks out to challenge the system. As GSH said "the revolution will not be televised" and it certainly won't be on facebook.
I know VERY little about Rock music but, just from what I've listened to, wouldn't you have to include Keith Moon in the list of best drummers?
Gil Scott Heron had a pretty interesting life, my cousin loves him got to see him a few years before he died.
