I have as much "proof" that he was a pedo as I do that O.J. Simpson cut a woman's head off. ...and that's more than enough.

For reference check out the HBO documentary: Leaving Neverland.

Ultimately I don't care, he's gone.

Back to the real topic, I like and appreciate Toto. They did a bit more than dance and diddle little boys.

One of my favorite music stories is how their original bassist knew how big Toto IV was gonna be so he quit the band right after recording so he could remain an anonymous studio musician


David Hungate. Of course, he was replaced by Mike (What? ANOTHER freakin') Porcaro (who appears in the music videos for the IV hits.)

Super musicians and one of the most bad assed blue eyed soul singers of all time, Bobby Kimball from south Louisiana.

One of my favorite bands and to me, the most odd group around. They have/had 6 or 7 different vocalists in their songs, which to me if you have that many, the band kind of loses identity. Joseph Williams is my favorite singer of all.

Great band though, Jeff Porcaro was one of the best drummers there ever was, a true legend.

David Paich's voice is crap nowadays, his voice aged horribly. Nothing remotely close to the original recording of 'Africa'.

Watch "Hired Gun", a pretty good doc out there, is in Netflix.

"Pamela" is one of my favorite songs.

Guitarists, go to the 4:30 mark and listen to Steve Lukather's isolated guitar solo from Rosanna! Jazzy, speedy, a little EVHish influenced sounding hammer on pull offs.......dude was great!

Joseph was killer on the Toto material. Great singer.

Some of the stuff Kimball did was just insane. Some of the harmony parts he sang were in the stratosphere. Love his voice on the backing vocals of the Tubes, "She's A Beauty"

Yeah, this solo is Skunk Baxter meets Eddie Van Halen, for sure.
