I was listening to an older Wait Wait Don't Tell Me with Max Weinberg the other day and he said he got his gig with the E Street Band when he answered an add for "Drummer Wanted. NO JUNIOR GINGER BAKERS".
I have just read the Wiki about Max Weinberg. He was the man behind the beat of "Born In The USA."
Now I understand his importance. That beat, that sound still echoes in my musical memory. I like how he like Ringo Starr was not about the solos but keeping the music going. Many great drummers have that under-appreciated quality.
