I have plenty to say about the financial apocalypse that is currently going on, but I can't get into it without just devolving into a stream of expletives.
Comedian Mike Schmidt (www.mikeschmidtcomedy.com) had an interesting notion on his podcast-similar to an All Star Team, name your top five all time band members. I guess you assume, for the moment, that they could all learn the same music and get onto the same page musically. Living or Dead, all time, top five-singer, two guitars, bass, drums. I guess you also assume that their skills don't atrophy over time.
Singer: Lennon. Can do ballads and rockers, and I feel like he would be adaptable to most musical styles. He was a bit of a crank as an older man, though. Maybe Robert Plant here.
Guitar: Hendrix. Duh.
Guitar: Kirk Hammett. Like Lennon, extremely adaptable and able to slow down and speed up as needed. Classically trained, too.
Bass: Geddy Lee. Cliff Burton also an excellent choice-gone too soon.
Drums: John Bonham. Frightening to imagine what he could do with modern equipment. Narrow victory over Neil Peart, who is a little more level headed and might be more technically proficient. Although Peart has a nearly thirty year head start, now-Bonham might have turned into Peart as an older man.
Do you have a top five?
