Athens kicks it off

Unfortunately seeing quite a few posts in various places that Todd is no longer in the band and Duane will be in going forward.

LINK

My buddy who has inside knowledge also reported to me that Todd has been a total derelict up till the past year or so. The band gave him time off to get straight. He returns on a zero tolerance policy, goes to Mexico, is seen with a drink in his hand at airport. Someone reports it to Brown Cat.

Other rumors are that he was partying with that nose candy or whatever in Mexico too. so when Schools says it was his choice, he made the choice to chase demons rather than continue on with the band. That's tough. He was a founding member and knew Houser long before the others, IIRC.

That's pretty much the word I was given from a South Carolina friend of mine who is familiar with some of the Brown Cat people.

On a personal note, I can't understand how the other members of the band would give Todd an ultimatum about drinking. That is, unless he is an absolute train wreck on the sauce. In my mind, it seems like a "let he who is free of sin cast the first stone.." type situation, but I know jack shite about what their closed door meetings are like...

There has to be more to it than him just drinking too much. There's no way they would cut him loose right before the 30th anniversary show unless they had a good reason.

Do we know he just didn't bow out? Maybe he realized after Mexico that the ship has sailed. The first two shows he was WAY off, which is to be expected. Maybe he just had a meeting with the guys (who I'm sure implied to him all Playa run that he's off) after Mexico and they all decided it was best.

He had a hell of a last show though down there
