    I’m going to take a stab here only because I know Keith Moon was his godfather, is it Ringo’s son, and current Who drummer, Zac Starkey?

    Correct. Moonie had bought it for him for his birthday.

    Damn, and I thought it was quite an achievement when I could make it outta my dorm room when I was tripping, let alone throw a baseball.

    Usually we had one person who was just smoking weed or hash just to keep an eye on things... no one turning into a bird and flying off of the roof... stuff like that. I really doubt this story, the flashing alone would keep anyone from concentrating on anything, much less pitching a MLB game. Best example I can think of flashing is Grace in the Uncle Sam Blues  vid from Woodstock.

    I don't have a link? The Rory/Jimi stuff runs deep. That said Kath was no slouch either. Dont remember Kath being mentioned. 

    Hendrix was infatuated with Gallagher upon arriving in the UK. In particular Gallaghers sound he got from a strat. He drove to Cork too see him the day

    after his Marquee debut. Went to the Rory Gallagher festival in Ireland a few years back. Was there on business.

    Slash played, lots of outrageous players. Recommend it for any fan of Rory, unless there's a pandemic going on. 

    It is Terry Kath... on an article/interview I'll have to look up. In the meantime, if anyone doesn't exactly know who he is, check this out:

    May's recent popularity surge is somewhat due to the Queen movie.

     

    When May was 15-16. he hung out in London clubs. At the time, Rory Gallagher was still with Taste.

    May would wait until the Taste gig was over and Rory would let him pick his brain, and show him riffs. 

    It is by no accident May prefers Vox AC30TB amps his whole carear. 

     

    Dick Cavett to Jimi Hendrix:

    Man , what's it like to be the greatest guitar player in the world?

    Jimi: I don't know you would have to ask Rory Galagher.

    Thought Jimi mentioned Terry Kath, not Rory.

    Guitarists cannot be compared like sports teams. There is art and artistry involved. Great ones are just great.

    Joe Pass? Great.

    Jimi Herring? Great.

    Bruce Cockburn? Great

    Alex Skolnick? Great

     

    How many average random humans have even heard of them? :)

    I have heard of all of them... I think, but c'mon... Robert Fripp, Frank Zappa, Steve Howe, Al Dimeola, Jimmy Page, Clapton, Duane Allman... that poll is just what I mentioned, for a laugh.

    I don't know if there are any Youtube vids, but Stevie Winwood is just tremendous playing guitar on Traffic's live "On The Road"

    Wait. How could you you not have seen this one... only known recorded concert to date of the mostly original Traffic (no Dave Mason). He rips it up pretty good on this film, 1974... my avatar lol. Stoned out pretty good too, acid is fun.

    Probably why he is retiring.  Hope someone starts a new magazine "Madder!" and offers him work as he wishes.

    You know, a guy like this is a perfect example of finding a job/profession you LOVE and make money at. He could have retired whenever he wanted to but kept going till almost 100 years old. Whippersnappers take note lol...

    If you listened to my late mother, Mad magazine and the Three Stooges were directly responsible for the decline and fall of western civilization.  Damned good sight she never looked at my National Lampoons.  ?

    Funny stuff... my parents hated the Beatles for similar reasons. 

     

    Besides Mad, I used to read the Cracked comics too... but def liked Mad better.
