Der einzige Überlebende des grossen Triumvirats (good und bad sind tot, nur the mean one kickt noch immer: Happy 87th Birthday, Roy Haynes!
When I’m going to play anywhere, we’re lighting a fire before we get there. Sh*t, f*ck it. I’m going to kick their ass on the drums! That’s the language I speak. You know, with my bands, I try to get somebody who understands what I’m doing without me always having to describe it. I don’t like to tell people what I think they should do, or what to do. Telling someone how to live? I don’t know. Just one day at a time.
