yes I enjoyed Keith's croaky rendition of Satisfaction on the aucostic guitar. also enjoyed my wife's comment when watching the Stones 1965-"wasn't Keith Richards in the band then"?

OK he sounds like an interesting guy. But he needs to learn respect!

I seem to remember a rumour that after the RnR Hall of Fame induction of Cream, the band met to talk about a Cream reunion and Ginger pulled a knife on Jack Bruce during an argument. And that's what kept them from doing it for so long. Anyone else hear that.

He has joined Blind Faith (with Clapton and Winwood) in 1969. After that he formed Ginger Baker's Airforce. After this band he went often to Africa with his Range Rover. He met and played with Fela Kuti a lot. They were good friends. Ginger travels a lot, but always had some incidents with drugs, police, dealers, family's, members of polo clubs.
It's a miracle he survived most of those incidents.

one of the luckiest musicians alive, not amazing, though good enough. Amazingly on my list of top 5 luckiest musicians.
04.) Ginger Baker - Cream could have had anyone as a drummer, plenty of better session musicians, even more so for Blind Faith, seeing as both Clapton and Winwood had proven their musical confidence.

this is ridiculous--Baker was a superb player... Clapton was if anything the weak sister in that group, imo.
as for the original post--don't you think he was having a laugh? I doubt any of the Stones mind what he says.
