 Richie Hayward, longtime Little Feat drummer, died August 12 of complications from liver cancer. As immortalized in their song "Rock and Roll Doctor," Richie had "Two degrees in bebop, a PhD in swing/He's a master of rhythm, a rock and roll king." He could swing like a jazzer and pound like a rocker, there was nothing he couldn't play from behind his kit. Truly a "rock 'n roll everyman," Richie's immense talent was surpassed only by his humility. Yep, that funky drummer sure could play, and our loss is Heaven's gain.
