Truly it is art. Buddy was an angry angry guy when he wasn't sitting behind the drums, but when he was playing he proved to be one of the best drummers that ever lived. I can't hear one flaw in anything any of them ever did, either. It's just something he did every time they got on the bus.
Buddy, and James Brown were both know for being nasty to their respective bands. Buddy is a nasty set player, but he's a bastard.:chuckles:
