Learned a lot about a legend today. A lot of the 70s footage reminded me of growing up around musicians at that time. Pretty entertaining documentary.

A notorious idiot and asshole.  He was a good drummer but so what?  Why would anybody ever want to put up with shit from a drummer?  A drummer, for crying out loud.  Drummers are way too easily replaced.  If you ain't the guy writing the songs, just shut up and play.  I won't go so far as to say drummers are a dime a dozen.  More like twenty cents a dozen.    What band ever made it big because of their drummer?
