drumming through life seeing what condition his condition was in.

“All of it, boy…”
I loved the bit in Sling Blade where they sat and argued about the “direction” of their half-assed drunken band for what seemed forever. I have seen friends do that. It was so surreal.
One of those great guys you always see in films but you never remember his name until it’s too late. Now I won’t forget ya, Mickey.

Do yourself a favor. Find a way to listen to Bob Dylan’s Bootleg Series Volume Four Live at “Albert Hall” (actually recorded in Manchester). Mickey replaced Levon Helm in the line up of the Hawks (later the Band) when they backed up Dylan on his legendary 1966 tour of Great Britain. His drumming is absolutely amazing. His opening snare shot in “Like a Rolling Stone” is worth the price of admission in and of itself. Here’s a link to a video of that performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Xz7WfVYxok
I remember that Mickey Jones played Ricky, a mentally handicapped man, on a very good episode of The Incredible Hulk. He befriended the Hulk and taught him how to open a can of soda. I think the Hulk wound up crushing it anyway. :-)
He would return to the show later on in a very different role as a biker. I remember he was pretty good in both.
RIP, Mr. Jones.
