I hear he's gathering up all the top musicians and they're going on strike.

That would bring the music world to grinding halt!

But let's not derail the thread-- I think we should express our appreciation for the man!!

He's the guy in that selfish band Fountainhead. Right? Or was it Anthem. Whatever, they both rock to their own tune!

John Galt was a mediocre drummer. Wesley Mouch was a great bass player.

Of course, nobody ever paid any attention to Wesley Mouch.
