So many untalented / sucky bands make it huge too. So what is your point?

I know Danny pretty well. He's living good. He's 50, one of the best drummers in the world, and has put his whole life into it. They are under contract for one more album (which is almost finished), after that I wouldn't be surprised if they went that route. Funny thing is they have to do an album every 5 years, they are into year 6, and Maynard is the one holding it up. I've never met Maynard, but I know the rest of the guys pretty well....they are super fun and unpretentious guys.
