Quite an in-depth write up for someone's passing. Kudos to the writer for putting in the effort.

Just Mickey and Bill left from the original lineup now. I think Tom Constanten might still be alive, from their early lineup, but he wasn't a founding member as far as I know.

Sad news This is another band I should know more about than I do. Any suggestions on a god place to start in their discography, Stephen?

The only place where a punk drummer and a prog drummer can coexist in peace: in the next world, having shuffled off this mortal coil.
