   RTH afternoon Coffee Break:

   Several things about the Rascals:

   1. What a freaking incredible drummer:

   (note effortless upward crash cymbal motion at 1:12)

   2. I didn’t know they were a bassist-free band. Sounds like a bass on the records, especially on Lonely Too Long (my go-to example for a definition of syncopation).

   3. Initial extremely goofy outfits:

   (note pre-mop top Paulish-look incredible drummer boasting Geeter with the Heater hair)

   4. Dynamite Jesus look make-over:

   Thanks for that fine Rascals content, Tvox! You’re dead-on about drummer guy — shit-hot he was!
