Was me. So sue me. Actually, please don't. 

Still better than saying "drummer who plays guitar" or worse "his dad was
Taylor the Blue Mutt".  I was quoting Spectator from the early 80's. Not
sure but it could have been Madejczyk, but more likely Cheshire, or
Parthenon Huxley when he was still called Rick Miller. There was a long
cover story on Arrogance around the time of the breakup, circa autumn'83. If
anyone has a copy of that, I'd love to get my hands on it again. I only have
part of it photocopied.
