HR used to be the lead singer for the Bad Brains. I know he left the band
for awhile and did some solo stuff, then rejoined the band and then left
again. Didn't he spit on people during the first night of the tour with the
Beastie Boys and then get kicked off the tour? I'm not sure what's he's
back in thew Bad Brains again or not. In fact, I'm not sure the Bad Brains
are still around. In any case, he's a freak. I saw the Bad Brains on their
Quickness tour though and they were great. Extremely funky stuff, but not
in a jazzy way - more punk or metal.
