Benny and Buddy


No, no, no, you got that Boy George/Benny thing all wrong. Recently the band went to see Madam Ruth. You know, that gypsy with the gold capped tooth. Well, she looked into her crystal ball and did a bunch of mystic mumbo jumbo crap. Come to find out, she discovered that Benny has some kind of super-paranormal psychic link to the great jazz drummer Buddy Rich. Check out the photo they even sort of look alike. It seems that when Benny goes into one of his solos, he channels the spirit of Buddy Rich and the two minds become one. Benny's style of playing is very much like Buddy's was. Watch Buddy destroy Gene Krupa in this drum battle, and remember it the next time you see Benny play. - O.P.

I think Buddy has better hair lines.
