The story about Templeman appears to be BS... I didn't realize he had a career as a musician going back many years prior to being hired as a producer at WB. So he didn't start out with the Doobies at all.

I'm a mediocre musician at best and barely functional as a soundman...and I don't care what anyone thinks of that.

I don't know how far back his career goes. I seem to recall he was in a group called Harper's Bizarre, who's big claim to fame was recording the theme song to the movie I Love You Alice B. Toklas (great picture, btw). Dunno what else he did besides that.
Also, if he was merely "the Doobie Brothers' coke dealer", that wouldn't explain him somehow managing to produce Captain Beefheart. I think Zoot Horn Roll said that Templeman was the first person who had the mivonks to tell Beefheart to STFU, which ZHR found "refreshing".
