   A very old repost of a very old post, but I've actually thought about   
   this a bit lately. Without the accident, I think the Flo & Eddie lineup   
   would have just gone on and permutated into other lineups, the way the   
   large early-1973 Mothers just kind of added and subtracted members until   
   ending up as the Bongo Fury band and so on. In the aftermath of the   
   London incident was definitely one of the more abrupt overall lineup (to   
   say nothing of stylistic) changes of FZ's career. Ian and Aynsley stayed   
   on to work with FZ in 1972, perhaps more of the band would have hung   
   around longer without the layoff. Who knows.   
      
   On a related note, I also still find it somewhat remarkable how much   
   music FZ still managed to compose in the months between the accident and   
   the rehearsals on "Joe's Domage," while injured and / or recovering.   
      
   How's this for an Old Geezer-style post... Were.. Sorry, WUZ the lyrics   
   of "It Just Might Be A One Shot Deal" somehow inspired by FZ's use of   
   painkillers while recovering from his injuries? I've half-seriously   
   wondered about this once or twice, but, hey, who knows.
