Buddy Rich  email this discussion to a friend?

damagedgoods (83) 6 years ago

I grew up in awe of Mr. Buddy Rich. It took me at least 10 years just to begin to
absorb or comprehend what he was doing with his wrists. To this day, at the age of 40, I still can't play all the stuff he played.

When listening and viewing his bio.s, reading interviews, observing photos, and reading fans' stories, not to mention the 5 different times I saw him live, a common denominator appears in his legacy. And that is that he had an ill-disposition. He was known to be mean in public, and rude to strangers.

Every time I try to keep him up there where I have always thought of him, this reoccurring theme snaps me out of it.

I think the lack of grace affects a celeb.'s legacy, even if they were super awesome.
