This must be the only draft ever where someone has picked both Jim Garrison and Hunter S. Thompson.

and in a music draft nonetheless.

i PM'd MSchu18.

Please note that Tina Turner wasn't picked to sing. She was relegated to "Shut up and look good," which I think is the wiser decision.

sure, if you like ugly women with nice legs

Quick write up from earlier:




My Lawyer is Donald Passman:

If Captain Obvious was in this draft, Donald Passman would be his first choice. I think everyone who ever wanted to do anything with music must have read his book "All You Need to Know About the Music Business," the down-to-earth music law book anyone can understand, even your drummer.

Passman was behind some of the largest contract negotiations in music history and stands respected as one of the best music lawyers around today.

My band will be very happy with the paychecks they are getting.

Hook Up:



Lindsay Lohan

Man, what happened to you? When I met you, you were a nice, affable girl, level, and someone that anyone would want to know, and I feel disgusting for voting you here, but the fact is that you are known to throw the best parties, drop out of rehab, and basically get slapped in the wrist for doing what "normal" people would have spent 5 years in prison for doing. This protection barrier is why I chose you, not because I actually want you around. You can get the drugs and everyone looks the other way. Sure, there will be better picks for this position, but most of them did mad time in prison, and with my band too busy touring and doing drugs, they won't have time to look for more hookup.

Time to get to some drugs

Oh, my;

Dominic has been skipped. He can't complain about no PM this time because I sent it to him.

Crash Jr is on auto-skip, still.

So, Pelican Poker is up with kudzudemon on deck.

OK, so there is going to be a lot of shenenigans going on with my lot so I'm going to need the best lawyer I can get. Only the most high-profile one that with a mention of his name, the police will be backing off.

Someone with brass, someone with balls. Someone who could get you off for murder.

No problem.





pelican's Super Group

Songwriter: Neil Young
Female Vocalists: Dusty Springfield
Keyboards: Benmont Tench
Bass: John Entwistle
Wild Card: PJ Harvey

I pm'd kudz straight away so he is 1/2 hour from being skipped

Fightin' words, there, buddy.

Write-up to come, but here's a taste of my wild card pick

Round 10
Artist

Joni Mitchell



Joni Mitchell is not only a phenominal musical performer but is also an artist. She is easily in my top 5 favorite musical performers ever. But there was no real place in the band for her since she is primarily a solo performer. No problems though because she also has lots of experience designing album covers. She designed all of her own album covers often using her original paintings, drawings and illustrations.

She painted these:





And even the covers that used photography were her concept and design such as the haunting cover of Blue which might be my all-time favorite album.



She even painted a cover for a friend.



Even though she is only under contract for her artwork I am hoping to talk her into doing a set at concerts as the warmup act.

so far:

George Harrison (lead strings)
Buddy Holly (songwriter)
Gene Krupa (drums)
Elton John (keyboards)
Jack Bruce (bass)
Paul Simon (wild card)
Brian Wilson (male vocalist)
Cass Elliot (female vocalist)
Bruce Berry (roadie)
Joni Mitchell (artist)

I already picked Rubin, Dom

you guys are bad at the spreadsheet. if you update it after you make your picks this wouldnt happen

3 times now? Some kind of record?

I have been pretty good about entering my picks into the sheet, the last round I didn't have it open in a browser tab and was in a hurry

And Dom ripped my Janis pick which was in the same post as Rubin. So

Yeah, guys...

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...ISGd6aFE#gid=0

I've not been keeping too good of track after the other day's activities. Sorry.

its_just_me is skipped again...

Jabonator is up!

legend42 on deck.

I see, For Eye Candy, my mistake.

She is better as a vocalist and the eye candy would be a bonus freebie - a duel role for one pick.

am i too late?
