They can't take five minutes to learn any STP song other than "Crackerman" or "Sex Type Thing" either.

When they inducted Rollie Fingers into baseball's Hall of Fame they didn't pressure him into wheezing out one last, weak curveball towards home plate.

Still, there's something more..I dunno, right about Roth declining to perform with Eddie unavailable. And he's totally right about "You Really Got Me" being a pointless song to do given the Kinks provenance. I dunno, I know Roth's a pill, but I gotta say I'm with him on virtually everything here.
