"I'm not a rock star, let's put it that way. I never wanted to be. I just wanted to write great music, make some money and have fun. And when I was younger, meet girls."

He was a down to earth guy. Not a hint of pretension.

I believe that. I knew some musicians like that, zero ego but plenty of talent.

Dave Mason was the same age as Dummkopf Trumpf.

Where's the justice?
