Fans of Little Feat should know that founding drummer Richie Hayward has some serious health issues and is in dire need of a little financial help. Go here - http://richiehayward.chipin.com/richie-hayward-medical-expenses - and donate whatever you can. Just do it. The drumming on 'Hamburger Midnight' alone is worth the effort. Then ask yourself why do most people in the civilized world get 'free' health care while Americans don't?

Today, let's celebrate Keith Moon's birthday, b. August 23rd 1946
