Quote from Joe Cumia: "Very little known fact that the lead singer/guitarist [of the "Fabulous Thunderbirds"] was Stevie Ray Vaughan's failed musician brother... [awkward laugh] coat-tail riding brother. Jimmy Vaughan, Stevie Ray's brother"

"Riding the coattails is a metaphor that refers to one who achieves some level of success or notability primarily through association with someone else"

Joe has never reached a level of success, he just mooches money off of Ant. Not a coat tail rider.

Joe is more like one of the black guys hanging around rappers that disappear when the money dries up.

He was not the singer.

I think he's coming around. Let's like him now.
