Alas, although my mouth sometimes gets me in trouble because I love the words that we're supposed to not say for some fu-- fricken reason, this title is not by any means a bad word. In fact, it is the name of a famous drummer from Knoxville, TN. Now, did I know who Toby Dammit was before going to Wikipedia, searching "famous people from Knoxville" and scrolling down the list before whispering to myself "holy sh-- crap. That's an amazing name"? Maybe. Maybe not. Regardless, it's neither here nor there. What matters is what this amazing man has accomplished in his life.
Born Lawrence Edward Crooke, Mr. Dammit grew up in Knoxville through the roaring 60's. He is most famous for his work with Iggy Pop, which is pretty cool. Besides all that, he's had a long, storied career in the music industry. Although, he was not born with his bada-- really cool name, Mr. Toby Dammit has lived up to his name by being a super cool drummer throughout his life! Here's a picture of him, rocking out!
*Disclaimer* Although the article above is short, it is worth noting that everyone else had already taken all of the cool famous Knoxvillians i.e. Quentin Tarantino and Johnny Knoxville. Nonetheless, Toby Dammit is someone who I will always remember from now on.
