IMPORTANT: I disabled comments ONLY because there were mean-spirited, vile, hateful comments by viewers against other viewers with different viewpoints - MUCH worse than anything Buddy says in this interview! I DID NOT disable comments because I like Buddy Rich and can't stand reading negative things about him. Trust me, I know full well that Buddy had his "dark side."

Buddy's derogatory comments about Country Music begin at 9:45. For the record: I DO NOT AGREE WITH WHAT HE SAYS, especially that "simple" in music equals bad or inferior and "complex" automatically means better.
