Not a good idea. He and Jack won't get along in heaven either.

True, but Jack's got seniority.

When his time comes, Ginger has to make it past Saint Peter first... No doubt he'll start an argument

I've never subscribed to the theory that it's all the drummer's fault. Ginger got along fine with Clapton. And Jack never had stable line-ups either.

Ginger could draw a small crowd drumming on that oxygen tank he lugs around.
