That's cool!

Mt. Rushmore is one of this country's greatest natural wonders.

OK, go watch the movie "My Fellow Americans" with James Garner and Jack Lemmon, then you might get the joke.....

I was half expecting to see a 'John, Paul, George and Ringo' photoshop there!

Very good, must visit Mount Rushmore myself one day!

Sorry, but no Brit belongs on an American monument. No offense to the UK TB'ers either, it's just that it doesn't belong.

No, no, no!

That's the bass of Mt. Rushmore. The Presidents are on top.

Get it? Bass? Oh... I'm such a card.

Ironic, being that the "Shrine of Democracy" aka Mt. Rushmore was made by a man with Ku Klux Klan connections and was originally intended as a monument to white, European supremacy...

I'm not quite the jazzer (it is after all a ROCK monument), so my version would be:

Macca / John Paul Jones (who actually looks a bit like Jefferson if you squint your eyes) / Jamerson / Geddy Lee

OK, there's only one U.S. citizen in that lineup. So maybe, then:

Joe Osborne / Jamerson / Duck Dunn / Lee Sklar

That can't be Mt. Bassmore - Roy Husky Jr. ain't on it.

Mt. RUSHmore should, by definition, have more rush.


IMO of course.

That would be a lot of work to get Lee Sklar's hair right in stone......
