You have to give credit to a club band with the balls to fire a drummer that has played for more people on one night than the band that fired him plays for in an entire year.  Madball leader Freddy Cricien did it to Jay Weinberg, son of E Street Band drummer Jay Weinberg.  The younger Weinberg filled in for his father on several dates during Springsteen's last tour so that his father could make appearances with the band he fronts for Conan O'Brien.  Now, both father and son have eneded up on the short end of the stick.  O'Brien ditched Max in the process of his migration from NBC to cable, and Madball bailed on Jay for reasons the front man explained as having to do with him having '...a lot to learn about paying dues, and about life in general'.
