Seriously talented drummer, eccentric as hell. Blew millions on horses

Clapton couldn't stand him, IIRC.

I read this as "blew millions of horses". Very different legacy.

Damn ...

In the top 5 all-time ... probably top 3. Wrote the book on rock stardom. Then ate the pages.

R.I.P.

Disraeli Gears is now playing full blast.

Probably stay that way until game time.

This is sliding too far down the page.

That should not be allowed, so I'm stepping in ... with a hard kick pedal.

I remember listening to Cream as a wee lad. My oldest brother was a big fan. Rip Ginger. :(

Very compelling documentary about him.

If Jack Bruce wasn't such a weenie-butt-pussy-man, we could have had two more albums.

JB could play some serious bass, though. One of the reasons I have a Bass VI.

I had no idea about that (bolded), so I googled it. Apparently nobody liked him, even his own son!

Before Jack Bruce died, he called Ginger and said "Ginger, I'm dying, Fuck You!" and hung up! ROFL

Well, RIP to a great drummer.

Love Badge. George Harrison plays on it too, so extra badass.
