I actually support Lars for drummer, but I think Ginger Baker deserves at least a nomination. Total shithead.

Dark horse drummer candidate: Mo Tucker, who went Tea Party / birther after Obama was elected.

And I know it would be redundant, but surely Bernie Rhodes and this band deserve each other?

Way too many managers would fit the bill. Almost by default they're predatory and corrupt. Even in Bernie's special awfulness, there's an argument that McLaren did it better/worse.

OH yeah, that's a good one. Mo Tucker's just seems like old white people shit and she's not famous enough for it to reverberate like Clapton.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Still need someone who plays synths. Are any of the Depeche Modes assholes? Any of those 70s prog guys?

Yeah, but McLaren isn't being Bernie's graphic design skills to the table

McLaren is quite capable of stealing from others what the job requires.

I'm nominating Lars Ulrich as the drummer.
It takes a bold dick to claim outsider status yet also side with record industry against the fans.
His voice doesn't help perception of him either. Napster stuff is pretty indefensible though. Beyond that he seems alright. Not sure who else would get it beyond the typical wife beating, alcoholic misogynists like Moon or Bonham.
Moon would be an okay pick. Didn't he run someone over? Tommy Lee also seems like a jerk.

Good call. I'm giving Ginger the nod over Lars.

How about Bruce Johnston or have we already reached our Beach Boy quota?

Besides working with Mike Love for half a century—good lord, is he insane?—what's he done that qualifies?

He's a conservative douche bag and an old crank. I've heard that Mike is far nicer than most people think, but that Bruce has a huge ego and generally can't be bothered to interact with fans.

Huh. The Beach Boys are assholier than I thought.
