BAKER'S BOY OFFERS TO REPLACE STARR'S SON

The son of legendary CREAM drummer GINGER BAKER has contacted THE WHO
guitarist PETE TOWNSHEND to offer his services, following last week's
(ends25MAR05) news that ex-BEATLE RINGO STARR's son ZAK STARKEY has
quit the band.

Starkey's decision to continue playing with OASIS - who sacked their
own drummer ALAN WHITE last year (04) - led to The Who scrapping plans
to tour and record a new album.

However, Baker's son KOFI has now volunteered to fill the role once
occupied by wildman KEITH MOON - although he doesn't have the same
taste for the high life as the late sticksman had.

Baker's ex-wife and Kofi's mother Liz says, "Kofi doesn't take drugs
and he doesn't drink. You're more likely to find him in the gym."

She adds, "Ginger has always said that Kofi has more technique than
him. He could do a good job for anyone."

It is currently unknown whether Townshend has accepted Kofi's offer.

Yeah, a talent, professional musician should sit around on his ass waiting
for a semi-retired musician to come back to work when it strikes him he's
ready. Gimme a break. Let's see you wait around for your job after you've
been laid off. Idiot.
