I Wish I Was In A 70s Rock Band
Because back then, you could be a lead singer no matter what, even if you looked like the kind of guy who sold speakers out the back of a van. And, if you wanted to, you could have Glam Dracula play circus calliope music on an electric organ during a live TV performance:

Oh man, love me some Dr. Hook. He's kind of a whacko -- but he writes good songs.
As for the spiderweb dude, can you believe that's 3 Dog Night? I mean seriously -- does he leave that getup on when they do "Joy to the World?"
I've totally been on a Dr. Hook binge lately... although, and I just learned this myself, did you know that there isn't an actual "Dr. Hook." Everyone always assumed that it's the dude with the eyepatch, but it's not... Dr. Hook was just what they decided to call themselves.
See, I have a problem when bands do this. The J. Geils Band try to pull this crap on me in back the 80's -- when the lead singer was all like, "no, J. Geils is actually the guitar player -- my name is.."
Too late bobbo, You're J. Geils now. Deal with it.
Agreed. That just seems kind of needlessly confusing... it's like how Iron & Wine or The Mountain Goats are both just one guy.
