I think Jackson's absense hurts the band the most. The fact is, Chip isn't really a good piano player, so he ends up having to "write down" to a level that he...

Just to clarify-- My point was not that Chip is "just the drummer." I know he certainly contributes a LOT more to the band than that. But he freely admits that...
