My Take

What strikes me about Jet Black is how late he found his real calling. Born Brian Duffy in Ilford in 1938, he was already in his mid-thirties when he co-founded the Stranglers, one of the most enduring bands to come out of the British punk and new wave wave. I find that genuinely encouraging. He kept drumming with them right up to 2015 and only officially retired in 2018, which tells me the rhythm never left him. When he died in 2022 at 84, he'd given the band almost half a century. That kind of loyalty to a project is rare, and I respect it.
