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

After this little hullabaloo is over, I will pickup the leftovers and beat you all. Tina was going to be the female vocal backing up undrafted. No worries- my left over band will be the best boogie band of all time anyway. Still, it will miss Tina.
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.

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.

Mick Jagger (Male Vocals)
Sharon Den Adel (Female Vocals)
Randy Rhoads (Lead Strings)
Neil Peart (Percussion)
Grzegorz Kosinski (Bass Lines)
Maria Mazo (Piano)
Tori Amos (Wild Card)
Donald Passman (Lawyer)
Flood (Producer)
Lindsay Lohan (Hook Up)

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.

Okay, my round ten pick:

PRODUCER

No other modern producer can pull together my supergroup. He made Johnny Cash relevant in the 2000s, and he can that for Elvis!

Just look at this list of all the albums he's produced! From Public Enemy to Adele, from RUN DMC to Lana del Rey, from Tom Petty to the Dixie Chicks. The man can do anything. Absolutely amazing.


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

My picks:

Male Vocalist - Elvis Presley
Percussionist: Keith Moon
Lead Strings: Mark Knopfler
Songwriter: Neil Young
Female Vocalists: Dusty Springfield
Keyboards: Benmont Tench
Bass: John Entwistle

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 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.
