Quiz #6
Pop quiz: Within 10 seconds, name the most surreal band lineup … ever. This isn’t a trick question, by the way. (And, yes, you have only five seconds left.)
Just in case nothing comes to mind, here are a couple of options:
a) The Traveling Wilburys
b) Them Crooked Vultures
c) Sonny and Cher
d) Princess Leia and “The Force” All-Stars
If you chose “option c,” that’ll work … but “option d” is even better. And here’s the painting that proves it:
For some reason, the Rebel Force is performing in concert … which is hard to explain. And Darth Vader decided to lend his support on bass guitar. If you’ve ever seen the Star Wars® movies, then this image is pretty cool (and strange). It’s fitting that R2D2 and C3PO are on electric keyboards, and Princess Leia is looking a little like Gwen Stefani. But why is Chewie on drums?! (Is that supposed to be an insult to all the drum players of the world?) Ha!
Anyway, I just saw this picture—called “Star Wars Rocks” by artist Hugh Fleming—for the first time when my friend, Mike, showed up wearing it on a t-shirt. As a major fan of the movie series, Mike was happy to model his shirt for the camera. (Sorry ladies, he’s married.) Here are a few pics from the photo shoot. Enjoy!
