For those who read this title as being about Dr. Bill Bruford, the legendary English jazz-rock drummer, this here can be our little bemused happy place.

Among the thugs, Heat, and Dirt are all great reads. Heat is my favorite of them. Highly recommended if you've ever worked in a kitchen, or considered it.
