In my opinion, the best rock drummer of all time has passed away. Unfortunately, some of the most talented artists aren't always the greatest human beings. He certainly had a reputation for being volatile, cantankerous, and just downright nasty.

R.I.P., Mr. Baker.

I watched this excellent documentary on Ginger Baker just a a few months. Definitely worth the time.
