Battle Royale: Rock and Roll Zelig
-
Artist:

Lemmy Kilmister is featured in the current issue of Rolling Stone. The writer called him "rock and roll’s Zelig," and I think the article laid out a pretty compelling case for him: He was Jimi Hendrix’s roadie; he gave Sid Vicious bass lessons; he attended some of The Beatles' Cavern Club shows. On top of all that, he’s Lemmy, for chrissake.
Is there anyone else who has a greater claim Rock and Roll Zelig? Please confine your answers to musicians. I don’t want this to turn into a catfight between Bebe Buell and Pamela Des Barres.
