It depends. Sometimes it was him, but usually it was a duck swimming after feed hand cranked by some kid. They had that Taxi which was powered by gravity ( only went down hills). Either way the Syrians must be watching something from Hal Roach studios.
If you could create a super-group…

Well, haven’t heard from the JM in a while… how fitting that our topic is music when he happens back.
I know we all wish Led Zeppelin would be reborn, but this does not even attempt to address in serious terms what I am asking for.
I am kinda surprised that I didn’t see Morrissey, Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce instead.
I think you need to change your name to jimmypage.
Actually, The Smiths are my favorite, but I’ve been listening to Zeppelin for a lot longer. They are far more superior musicians than The Smiths. I actually tried to to think of the best people for each job and i really couldnt think of anybody I’d take over those four. I think every one of them was the best of the best. The only one i contemplated changing was Eric Clapton over Jimmy Page.

OK as long as the rules were FAIR. (I’m just joking with you BTW).
Also, I want to add King Diamond to my supergroup. He would be in charge of cheesy lyrical content and makeup.
No problems… just like Fox News, I am Fair & Balanced. :wink:
Unfamiliar with King Diamond… unless that means Neil. Actually now that you mention it, Ben Cheese would be a great frontman for a rock group.

Weird Al Yankovic - Lead Accordion & Backup Vocals
Justin Bieber - Lead Falsetto and Sex Appeal
Animal - Drums
Sheila E. - Everything else and my taxesA sarcastic take, but some good ideas.
Animal was a wise choice. Weird Al has already demonstrated that he is a master of all genres. Bieber will draw the pre-teen crowd. Don’t know Sheila E… but she does not sound any more promising than the others.

I agree with you there… I am not sure that I would in all seriousness be able to pick 4 guys who i can say would be better as a group. Best of the best for sure.
That said, I am surprised at your contemplation of Clapton over Page, however brief… Clapton is an icon, but is not nearly as heavy or innovative as Jimmy Page. Wouldn’t have suited Led Zeppelin in my opinion.
Surprisingly, I have never listened to The Smiths before. With the power of Spotify, I shall do so tomorrow.

The only reason for this was i needed Bonham. I think Page is better than Clapton, but there is no one i’d rather have over Bonham.

Be prepared. Complete 180 from Zeppelin. They are an aquired taste.
