This piece perfectly illustrates the idea that a little knowledge is a bad thing - just about everything in the original article is incorrect -
To the corrections, I would add that Jeremy Spencer was far from a "one-trick pony" - this opinion would seem to be based on a superficial knowledge of his true contributions to the band - both on record and on stage - most likely based on the commercially available recordings.
Such a statement is similar to those who believe that Elmore James himself spent his enitre career performing variations of his original 1951 recording of the Robert Johnson song or that Bo Diddley only wrote numbers based on the "Bo Diddley beat"
