What I recall about Ginger Baker,
more than his musicmaking,
was that when he was young and famous,
he gave some remarkable interviews.

Of course, with age, he became even worse to live with,
so the footage of him in recent years
doesn't quite convey the character and the personality
of his wicked youthful years.

He was old enough, during the second war and the blitz,
to sense what was going on,
even though he was a very small child.
And what I recall is that he was thrilled by the explosions!
