Zak Starkey as drummer for The Who
Zak Starkey. Starkey has been playing with The Who for almost 30 years (nearly half of the band’s existence), but one bad gig and he’s been fired.
This should have been the headline: Starkey got snarky

Legend has it that it was not Ringo who gave Starkey his first drum kit, but The Who’s own original drummer Keith Moon

Not just gave but taught him to play. Zac really plays more like Moon than Ringo. 

Daltrey has hearing issues so apparently doesn’t want a “busy” drummer

Pretty sad…wonder if Starkey might have got the Oasis reunion gig if he wasn’t in the Who

I read it may have been an amicable firing for other reasons.

Not just gave but taught him to play. Zac really plays more like Moon than Ringo.

Unfounded rumor

in any other administration, he'd be so out - so some folks are projecting and/or forgetting what kind of admin this is and think that ol' Pete will be fired.

but we all know what trump will do when faced with the consequences of his own decisions: he'll deny the problem and double-down on his decisions.  however, based on reports from inside the Pentagon, the shit-show there might actually rise above even what trump can deflect.
