In any case, it turns out that the current award-winning/smash Broadway hit musical Stereophonic is, shall we say, liberally plaigarized from Caillat's autobiography of a few years ago. And that there may be some lawsuits in the future as a result.
But my favorite bit is this:
Caillat said that he had watched the play in a daze. “I feel like kind of a numbnuts,” he said. “But, yeah, now I feel ripped off!” He did note a few discrepancies between his book and the play: “Lindsey [Buckingham]’s a dick, but he’s not that big of a dick.”Heh.
Which, of course, leads us to the weekend's discussion. To wit:
...and the biggest all-time dick in what we refer to as the rock-and-roll field -- of any gender -- indisputably was/is...???
Oh -- and in case you were wondering about my nominee, it should come as no surprise to long-time readers that it's the guy singing lead on the verses here.
I mean, not for nothing is he inevitably referred to in these precincts as "the colossal dickitude that IS Mike Love."
Okay -- who would YOUR choices be?
And have a great weekend, everybody!!!
POSTSCRIPT: I just have to say, as much as I respect the above-mentioned Ken Caillat, I cannot in good conscience excuse him for having spawned -- quite literally -- this crap.
Really. I hate to attribute the sins of the daughter to the father, but wow -- that song is completely inexcusably disgustingly awful. 😎
