Don't get me wrong, Cat Scratch Fever is rock and roll nirvana. He just kept turning his back to the crowd and fluffing his hair like he was trying out for Winger or Bon Jovi.
His main musical contribution to the show was left-handed trill that you learn in your first five minutes on an electric guitar.
Anyway, I guess I'm a sucker for expecting leaders to demonstrate thoughtful consideration in their jobs. Yeah, I know....neither party has shown much of that in the corporate "buy a politician" we now have.
I think Ted's qualifications are right up there with Little Richard. Although Little Richard probably edges him out with respect to live performances.
Springsteen? Maybe...but every speech would be ruined by Clarence Clemons and that damn sax...
Dylan? Hmmm.....how would we know what the hell he was talking about?
Prince? First official act - state flag now purple.
Kid Rock? Not sure, but I think he's actually Ted Nuget.
Britney? Hey, the Gov showed her crotch again! Yippee for our state!
Eddie Vedder? He would bust out with the best first month in office, ever. Then fade into obscurity...
Neil Young? Oh wait...he's from Canada...
Jack and Megan White? White Stripes as Governor? F*ck Yeah.
Best musician possible for Governer? Won't ever happen. Junior Kimbrough died.
