and I say

sorry to burst YOUR bubble but you're fulla shit.

His drumming inspired a lot of other folks, and that's good enough for
me. It's just off enough to make it cool. Paul's drumming might be
more exact but that doesn't make either one of them any greater or
better.

If you think he was so bad, by all means please step up on to the stage
and make that sound better than he can. (The only person I ever heard
that could come close was Robert Wyatt).
