Some folks are born with the uncanny ability to play
it straight when the world around them has just plain flipped it's lid.
That is exactly why Mr. John Aitken is the ideal time-keeper
of Soulflower. His combination of power and precision on the drums is
exactly what is needed to lay the smack down on the rest of the band and
keep them from fruit-looping out too far over the edge. Go Johnny go.
That's right.
