'Muir' is a Scottish name. I believe Jamie Muir is too.--HisSpaceResearch 22:19, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fur-Clad Maniac
I have seen, somewhere, sometime, a video of the "Larks Tongue" lineup of KC, with Muir looking like a caveman, wearing a large fur cape, jumping around, making a lot of good noise. This remains the image of him that comes to mind at the mention of his name. Perhaps a mention of the film/video would be nice to include, though I don't have the time to do it myself at the moment.

[edit] Left after injury?
I'd like to know where that came from, because he doesn't talk about it at all in an interview:
PT: After a second British tour in early 1973 you left the group. Why was this?
JM: The reasons why I left were to do with my interest in Buddhism. There were experiences over a period of about six months which caused me to decide to give up music, so one morning I felt I had to go to E.G. management and tell them. It was difficult of course, a whole year of tours had just been lined up. I cleared my house and went up to a Tibetan monastry in Scotland, became a monk and took the robes. I didn't feel too happy about letting people down, but this was something I had to do or else it would have been a source of deep regret for the rest of my life. I did a lot of meditating - which is more active than some people seem to think - and spent a lot of time in retreat.
