RIP: Peter Jones, drummer for Crowded House

My evil-twin doctor brought this up during our monthly session and I had to quickly clear it up a tad.

Although the SCLM is bringing up how Peter was the drummer for Crowded House, albeit after Paul Hester went AWOL during the band’s final 1994 tour through 1996 when Neil Finn officially dissolved CH; I think they’re fishing for a sequential or coincidental angle, anything to sell ad space. Sequential? Coincidental? Many people remember that CH’s first drummer and co-founder Paul Hester killed himself in 2004. Ergo, all the poor-taste Spinal Tap jokes will come rolling in. My money is on permanent adolescent Howard Stern.

So fear not, Matt Sherrod remains the current drummer since joining the re-united Crowded House circa 2005. There isn’t some dark cloud looming over the band or its primary songwriter Neil Finn a la Eric Clapton.
