Again, just because Lennon was talented doesn’t mean he wasn’t an arsehole. Not saying he was mind you I just don’t think he was all that clever outside of his music.

My boss still plays drums in a jazz band occasionally, and told me this story about Buddy Rich: Many years ago, Buddy was supposed to play a weeknight concert in Chicago, and my boss, five hours’ drive away, decided to go. He got out of work at 5 and drove five hours, getting there at 10 only to get the news that Buddy had had a fight with one of the promoters and stormed off somewhere. So my boss had a five-hour drive back home, having seen nothing. But, as he told me, “That sort of thing happened with Buddy Rich all the time,” and he’d figured it was a 50-50 chance the concert would go ahead.

I guess though it says something about Buddy Rich’s skills, that my boss was willing to drive ten hours on a weeknight on the half-chance that Buddy _might_ play.

Agreed. Douchebag.

ETA: Er, I mean Prince = Douchebag, not “Agreed, douchebag (Lust4Life)”.
