The Resume

Why he might be annoying:

    He dropped out of Seton Hall, although he would come back years later to complete his degree.
    His work is heard on the Home Alone 2 soundtrack and on Air Supply's Greatest Hits.
    He, along with the rest of the E Street Band, were not inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Bruce Springsteen.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He is very funny on 'Late Night' in such segments as 'Max's Greatest Hits' 'Max on Max,' 'The Band Is Jealous,' 'Max's Poetry' and in parodies of NBC's 'The More You Know' public service announcements.
    He was invited to perform at the East Room of the White House in December, 1996.
    He was named Best Drummer in the Playboy Pop and Jazz Music Poll (1985) and the Rolling Stone Critics Poll (1986).
    The Max Weinberg Seven was called 'the best band in late night TV' by Tom Shales of the Washington Post.
    He was the music director for Comic Relief 8.
    Before he went on hiatus to go on a reunion tour with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, he never missed appearing on an episode of 'Late Night.' That's over a thousand shows in five and a half years.
