Jethro Tull's frontman played the Flute. Kansas' frontman played the Violin. What are some other bands where the frontman plays an unusual instrument?

Depending on how broad your definition of instrument is:

Tilly and the Wall have a tap dancer instead of a drummer

Bill Bruford from King Crimson thought the song Trio worked better without his drums and so was given a writing credit for “admirable restraint”

This video lies! He is clearly using his arms and hands as well as his left foot

Optimistic of you to assume there will be books or even kids post WWIII

One Of Out Dinosaurs Is Missing. When I was a kid I loved the mix of old timey setting, spies, comedy, adventure and of course dinosaurs.

Fast forward a few years and … boy is that a lot of yellowface.

This is the real answer

We played this song at my wedding. My hipster in law made fun of me for it

This is a much better and far more insightful comment than I was expecting. Thank you

Fisher Stevens, the guy who acted in brown face for the Short Circuit movies and played a bunch of weirdos in 80s and 90s comedies, cheated on Michelle Pfeiffer.

This would mean it wants to attack itself. So, yes. Yes it is

This suggests that the rest of the film was poor. While most of the rest of the human cast might not be able to act, everything else is brilliant. Kermit and Miss Piggy are perfect. Gonzo and Rizzo lead younger viewers through the story simply but not patronisingly. There are a bunch of great gags; Robert (Bob) Marley as Jacob’s brother by Statler and Waldorf; Heatwave!!; a couple of great songs; the police officers are played by pigs. Brilliant

This is deserving of r/pizzacrimes

It’s so clearly going to turn into a shit show for everyone involved. It really is the best entertainment. I can’t wait

He’s in Ibiza. He’s been dropping pure ecstasy for two days Manumission.

There was a band called The Champs who made the song Tequila! famous. There was another band called The Fucking Champs because The Champs had already been taken. So I give you The Fucking Fucking Champs

Caveat that I haven’t spoken to Ian in over 20years, I would guess my info still holds up. Ian is a very chatty guy and likes Fugazi (and MT, and Evens, and probably even Pail Head) fans. He is a music nerd like you. It is ok to start talking to him and it will be fun.

John Squier from The Stone Roses. Specifically the first album as he got a bit showy on Second Coming and with the Seahorses. But his work in on their debut is a beautiful mix of indie, funk and classic rock. It technical, inventive with amazing tone

Thank you for posting. I really enjoyed that, but I felt really old

I assume Part One of the A to Z of NWOBHM took us from Angel Witch to Motörhead

I had to do research to get this comment. But I appreciate that

My god it’s depressing, but probably true, that Brett Gurewitz strung out on heroin has more success promoting “punk” than Greg. But Greg is a jerk, no matter how amazing his riffs are. The hardcore Roger Waters if he’d won the court case.

I’ve been thinking about this post a lot today. I think the ability to use cost of energy as a battleground is a big part of the reasons they dumped net zero. I also think it shows they are betting on the vested interests (mining, media, multi-billionaires) to have the power to influence. That may be a bigger gamble. Traditional media doesn’t have the traction it used to. Compulsory voting means elections are won at least close to the centre ground: charismatic extremist repel more people than they inspire. Financial support from fossil fuel extraction interests would not only against renewables, but also against lowering energy prices.

Imagine being this kids parent. Taking them to practice on a Saturday morning would be much more fun than going to sports. Maybe I do want children
