Buddy? Elvis? Jerry Lee? Hitler? Liszt? Beethoven? Blake? Byron? Mozart? Hamlet?

(Nonmusical/fictional personages entirely acceptable, obviously ...)

It was Oscar Wilde, man! < /toddhaynes>

Jesus.

Jesus.

Moses.

Jesus.

OK sure, but then Byron/Blake and Mithra (or yeah, Moses, or Osiris, or bla bla bla) crop up as predecessors. How dependent is rockstardom on 'making it big'?? Or maybe the better question is how big?

Dionysus, man. He preceeds Jesus, and he went around starting parties, playing wild music, dressing like a woman, drinking, having sex, and gathering a bunch of groupies. Plus, conservative kings hated him. How more Rock Star can you get??

AND he experimented with drugs.

I like how Lester Bangs said Lady Godiva so I'll go w/that.

oh c'mon - rock star! -- SISYPHUS!

oh c'mon - rock star! -- SISYPHUS!

Awesome--but then--Prometheus? (High on fire, no? Not just rolling but CHAINED to rock ...)

― brian nemtusak (sanlazaro), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 22:41 (twenty-three years ago)

okeh... p'haps they were both in the first rock band then?
(a duo, like? with no synthesizers, ha!)

hmh, dunno, tho. Sisyphus still seems more of a rocker. Prometheus 's more kinda goth.

Lady Godiva's horse, to be exact.

"Lady Godiva's horse, to be exact."

Waiiiiiiit... wouldn't the horse actually be the first groupie? Or would that be Catharine the Great's horse?
