This guy was apparently a genius drummer as a young man -- jammed with Jaco Pastorius, and a friend of John Medeski.
Then a bodybuilder, steroid user (when it was legal), convicted felon, a sufferer of chronic illness, and epic Usenet flamewar participant.
And deceased since 2012, but people still flame him on Usenet.

And on top of it he also made drums. I remember that from the newsgroup:

I remember the flames but about drums and steroids, but I had no idea back then ...
- ianmcgowan 6y agoThe saying is you die twice - once when you stop breathing and again, a bit later on, when people stop flaming you on usenet ;_)
- psychoslave 6y agoThat seems to indicate that usenet can’t die, can it?
