The Warren Moon comment
an explanation and apology by Marc Hirsh
In my review of Too Much Joy's ...finally album, I make what appears to be an error, saying that drummer Tommy Vinton beats his kit like he was Warren Moon. Well, I clearly meant Keith Moon, drummer extraordinaire from the Who, right? Well, no. Around this time, Warren Moon of the (then) Houston Oilers was arrested for spousal abuse, and for reasons that escaped me as soon as I saw it in print, I thought it was a funny comparison to make (drummer beats his kit = athlete beats his wife). I am deeply sorry. Obviously, I was wrong, and I think I covered at the time by telling people that I had in fact meant Keith Moon but I must have accidentally typed "Warren" by mistake. But I think I am man enough to own up to my youthful indiscretions.
Anyway, I'm ashamed of myself and it will never happen again.
