He was a courageous drummer, not afraid of going outside the rhythm, slashing his ride cymbal like it was a separate instrument. I was in awe of his creative energy, which will not be forgotten, john densmore Photo courtesy of Getty Images.

Around this time in 2011, I joined the Library Foundation of Los Angeles for their Young Literati Annual Toast. Books have always been as essential to me as music. They open the mind, fuel curiosity, and spark the imagination.

Not long after, he was riding the bus from Westchester to our office in West Hollywood, putting together scrapbooks and answering fan mail. He grew from a wide-eyed kid into the driving force behind the band’s legacy.

Happy Birthday to the late Danny Sugerman. Danny first saw us when he was just 12 years old at Cal State Long Beach, completely swept up in Jim’s charisma.
