And you all thought Jack Bruce went off the deep end... http://www.spinner.com/2008/11/17/dr...669x1200858332 Quote:
Rock 'n' roll is a hard life. Ginger Baker has the scars to prove it.
And he's prepared to expose a particularly private scar in court, if he has to. Baker, the 69-year-old former Cream and Blind Faith drummer, has accused a South African woman charged with 27 counts of fraud. He claims the woman, bank clerk Lindiwe Noko, embezzled about $60,000 of his money after he hired her to oversee his finances.
Noko contends that the drummer gave her the money in the form of gifts during an alleged relationship they had. But Baker denies it, and says he has the goods -- specifically, a scar in a bodily region he claims the woman never visited -- to prove it.
"It's there and she doesn't know it's there," said Baker. "I'm quite prepared to strip."
And may it please the court.

It all depends on the nature of the scar I suppose. This could make sense. Anybody remember the Bill Clinton and Mike Jackson privie identifications in legal cases?
