I discovered Les Claypool when he played at Coachella seven, or so, years ago. I don't think I realized at the time he had been with Primus.
Welcome to the Les is more program August!
I've probably travelled more miles to see Primus shows than just about anyone and they are always great. Lately, they've really upped the "jam", 4 minute songs are now 11 minutes...
with Jay Lane on drums, he was the original Primus drummer. Now plays with Rat Dog (Bob Weir/Rob Wasserman)

Les's Oysterhead with Trey Anastasio and Stuart Copeland was a great group.

Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Bernie Brains is another of my favorite lineups.

Sausage probably has Les' best bass work of any project, IMO.

Other solo albums (Of Whales and Woe, Of Fungi and Foe, etc), The Frog Brigade albums (including an entire disc of Floyd covers),
it's a long rabbit hole with Mr. Claypool.

Damn if I didn't have to go and look that one up, Marlow!
The band writes what they call "endtime ballads,"[7] signifying both the slightly macabre nature of their songs and their unusual blend of styles as the final evolution in music. This blend has led to them being called everything from stoner-prog to freak-folk to doom.[8] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crippled_Black_Phoenix
Listening to music, reading, writing, and conversing with people really keeps me going.
Thanks!

Was very sorry to learn Neil Peart had retired a year ago due to persistent tendonitis issues. This man...this band... is truly a powerful work of art.

Yeah, bummer for Neil.
I suffer from multiple tendinopathies, which have rendered me, for all intents and purposes in the physical realm, little more than a simple house cat.
When watching musicians as a matter of course routinely engaging in extreme acts of repetitive dexterity, I've often empathized and wondered whether that could cook their tendons!
I've sometimes found the themes of Rush to be somewhat adolescent and storybook, but readily admit to enjoying their music!
