Thanks for the Buddy Rich video. Funny story you may appreciate about Buddy Rich: Bill Graham, legendary rock producer, was a big jazz fan. There was a time during the 70's when rock bands like Led Zeppelin, Ten Years After, etc were playing 15-20 minute drum solos in their shows. Graham thought this was horrible because these drum solos were awful so he booked Buddy Rich to open a few Rock shows. I know one of them was Ten Years After in SF since I heard an interview with Graham about this. Well Buddy Rich opens the show and does his thing on the drums. Ten Years After saw his performance on the drums and decided to scrap their drum solo on the spot. Nobody could follow that act on the drums. And that was end of long drum solos in Rock & Roll.
To clarify - I did marry you but might not have gone to the prom with you (as if!)!
You definitely would not have gone to the prom with me, but in fairness I sorta had a mullet.
'90s in New Jersey - a mullet was the only option.

I've seen my sad share of 10 minute rock drum solos, and I wish Buddy Rich really had put a stop to them :)
tl;dr: Sage doesn't read Gobbledy?
I'm glad someone noticed.
