Check it:  It has the start of the doco at the end of the trailer.  He's
lucky he didn't do this to me.

It's a newish dvd by Jay Bulger.. http://bewareofmrbaker.com/  I was
pleasantly surprised.

 

The way that the doco opens captures Ginger Baker the man perfectly.  I
won't say any more.

Was this something you can catch on the tube or is it a DVD?

Talking of which, I don't know if any of you have seen "Beware Mr Baker"?  A
truly great doco about the dickhead Ginger Baker.  His narcissistic
personality sees him dump on anybody but his handful of drumming idols.  He
is particularly scathing about Bonzo/Keith Moon (I get that one) and just
dismisses just about all drummers.  If you haven't see this do yourself a
favour.  I won't spoil it but most of us already know how difficult this guy
this.

IF this has already been mentioned in this thread I apologise.  But I
thoroughly enjoyed this doco and the guy interviews some of the really
interesting people of the time and in Bakers' life plus some noted people
today.  Excellent.

Brad
