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. 😎

Phil Spector - I'd to say he killed for his art but he simply just killed.
Captain Al
John Phillips has to be right up there - guy wrote some of the prettiest pop-rock ever produced and then we have to find out years later he was fucking his daughter and who knows what all else?
Neal T ; Lou Reed
I understand the Lou nomination, but I should say in his defense that he went out of his way to be kind to me when we met and he said nice things about me to other people over the years.
Clapton's politics over the decades should earn him a nomination.
Morrissey
I understand Van Morrison was a dick even before he became an anti-vaccination conspiracy nut.
