I didn't see the original attribution, so maybe this is a different Steve
you're talking about.  But it looks like you've mistaken some other poster
for me.  Understandable, since sometimes it seems like my mission in life
is to run around this list spanking you for all the nonsense things you
say.  ;-)

In this case, though, I agree with you.  Ginger Baker is normally a
wonderful drummer, but somehow this has gotten to his head, and made him
think that we want to listen to him a lot more than we really do.  A
drummer with a guitar player's ego is a terrible thing indeed.  ;-)
