I think we can all agree there was only one Wayne Static, even if some of us occasional get him mixed up with the guy from Drowning Pool (there’s only one of him too, though if I were to google his name I might learn he’s been cloned). I can’t remember which sports pundit with the extremely punchable face (ie. all of them) opined some years ago that you don’t wanna be the guy who replaces the guy (vax phobia aside, this didn’t work out so badly for Aaron Rogers, wacky shirts aside it worked out quite poorly for Ray Handley), but it might well be applicable in this case – perhaps the burden of expectations, stepping into a legend’s boots etc. will not be as burdensome for whoever replaces Edsel Dope (sorry, Xer0) in future editions of Static-X.
There’s no Static X music on this week’s show, mostly due to rights clearance issues but also because I got them mixed up with Drowning Pool and had to re-write this week’s program notes at the last moment.
