    Thanks for sharing this, Crab. The musical history shared and the stories about how some musicians met was incredible.

    his miles davis impersonations were pretty killer.

    "Keep that wild bitch (Nina Simone) away from me!"

    "Jack's back in the band, you're fired motherfucker!"

    Yeah, he's a really interesting character! Before listening to the interview, I thought of him as just another nebulous drummer who was great...but that's it. I saw him in 1 dimension. But the stories he unravelled were just amazing and it was unreal how many musicians he rubbed elbows with. Great anecdotes on so many greats. I was hanging off his every word, too.

    Dudes need to listen to it.
