That's a little harsh...being a constantly semi-loaded goofball when you're young is well and good, but when one is pushing 60 it gets to be a bit pathetic-- I think he takes playing Eagles music pretty seriously, but his solo stuff is more in a fun/lighthearted vein. He's said the Eagles was the most rewarding gig he's ever had-- maybe that was merely a suck-up to them, who knows, since he broke a lot of ground with the whole playing-rhythm-and-lead-at-the-same-time stuff he did with the James Gang.
Back to the thread...you gotta love a bassist who puffs a Sherlock Holmes pipe while he plays...somehow that communicates relaxed command and confidence...what could be worse than an unsure uptight bassist?
