Danish Delight

I see none of it and am beginning to think that all though Krackerjack’s music is up beat and loud maybe the characteristics of the band’s … personalities may be more of the stoner rock category….Within a matter of minutes he has convinced me of his expertise in the big names of Rock History and I feel ashamed to be calling myself a Music Journalist….” I find it great that someone who is so clearly into Rock can be so open to other music genres even though it may not suit his profile of a drummer, and t ell him this….I don’t think that guy ever booked a rock band again. …
