kp: Okay - fantasy cast: 25 current musicians that would make the best-ever RL:
cw: Off the top of my head, and in alphabetical order by first name, with no deep thought or help from Google: Andre 3000, Andrew WK, Avril Lavigne, Bill Berry, Bucket Head, Cut Chemist, David Bowie, Dolly Parton, Doug Marscht, Edge, Eminem, J Mascis, Joanna Newsom, John Paul Jones, Junior Brown, Max Weinberg, Meg White, Neil Peart, Pavarati, Quintron, Randy Newman, Snoop Dog, Tom Jones, Will Oldham, and Yanni.

kp: Impressive. For some reason, I have no problem accepting Yanni as a choice, but I am really disappointed that you chose Randy Newman.
cw: Now go to your fancy iTunes and listen to these 4 songs: Davey the Fat Boy, Living Without You, Pretty Boy, and Love Story (You and Me), and then apologize to me for doubting the Randy Newman choice.

kp: Imagine an a-capella band with Calvin Johnson, Thurston Moore, Isaac Hayes, Corn Mo, and Bowzer from Sha Na Na.
cw: I like where you're going with that, obviously. But Rock Lottery doesn't allow for the choosing of who appears in each act, nor does it give you the power to make them perform a certain way.

kp: Right.
cw: Maybe you should create the new "Traveling Wilburys".

kp: Maybe.
cw: Corn Mo = Jeff Lynne.

kp: Of course.

Seattle's first Rock Lottery will be held at ConWorks this Sunday, July 18, at 10pm. Denton, TX hosts its sixth Rock Lottery on October 23.
