My Take
David Lovering fascinates me because he refuses to fit a single label. Born in Massachusetts in 1961 with an engineering background from Wentworth, he became the drummer for the Pixies in 1986 and kept playing with bands like Cracker and Nitzer Ebb after the breakup. Then there is the twist: he performs as a magician. A technically trained mind that keeps time and pulls off illusions is exactly the sort of restless creativity I love. He turned his whole life into a kind of performance, drumming and conjuring in equal measure. I tip my hat to anyone that committed to staying interesting.
