- hasbroslasher 10y agoUntil Pete Townsend gets a medical degree I'm disinclined to just take his word for it.
- ArkyBeagle 10y agoI'll take r-squared loss for 40 dB, Alex :)
- foobarian 10y agoGiven Keith Moon's love for explosives I wouldn't be surprised if their pyrotechnic stunts helped this along too, like the accidental overdose of gunpowder in the bass drum on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.
