Is Bob the guy who did next to nothing then came out all hard core for one song?
I think he's why I don't like Pavement.
Bez on the other hand....
He's WHY I like the mundys.

Bob Markley from the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. The son of an oil tycoon the cashed up Markley thought that the best way to get laid in the late 60's was to be in a psychadelic rock band, so Markley paid for all the group's expenses and recordings so he could be in the band. He would stand on stage and play the tambourine (out of time) and sing backing vocals.

Joel Gion from BJM

i don't really like BJM but if he hadn't been in that DIG movie i would not have been able to hack it.

Linda McCartney.
No, wait- ''actually integral'', you say. Forget I mentioned her.

Most the songs were about her. I'd say she's important.

The bass player from Bros.


Fielding Mellish  said about 1 year ago:

Craig Logan! He went out with Dani Minogue. Isn't he someones manager now or something? Or runs a major label. Something like that. Usually the usless members of bands end up being the ones making a living from it.

He was with Mel or Kim, and was high up at a major label
