In a recent thread Townsman bostonhistorian referred to Bruce Springsteen as the “Golden Retriever of rock…Eager to please, tireless, good looking, and dumb as a post.” This is a keen observation. We may learn more about our rock legends by seeing them through the lens of the canine world. What breed of dog would you assign to the following artists, and why?
- Bob Dylan
- Paul McCartney
- John Lennon
- Patti Smith
- Robert Smith
- Bono
- Paul Weller
- Rick Buckler
- Billy Gibbons
- Prince
- Jeff Lynne
- Seger
Any other rockers as breeds of dog come to mind?
