No brainer. peter Hammill by a country mile. The guy's a polymath; speaks loads of languages, knows loads of long words, given the resources of the World's only super power premiership I'm sure he could sort of the problems in the World. (oops am I sounding like an Energy Vampire now George W. Bush could then return to his prog roots, and perhaps pen an epic along the lines of 'Every Bloody Emperor'.
BTW i'd have lemmy as Hammill's vice president. ------------- Proud to be an un-banned member since 2005 |

Ian Anderson easily. He's a very levelheaded guy compared to some of the nuts on this list. He's shown he can manage a successful business outside music, his fish farms. I also think Derek Shulman would be good, or Phil Collins. (Daevid Allen are you kidding?, Ozzy, Fish?????) -------------

George W. Bush could meanwhile form a prog band named "The Petrol Trust" and record "We're Only In It for the Oil". Track Suggestions: 1. Hidin' in the Mountains (The Usama Blues) -------------  A shot of me as High Priestess of Gaia during our fall festival. Ceterum censeo principiis obsta |

The people you've been talking about are English, they couldnt be
President of USA just beacause of that. Zappa would be perfect for the job, but he is dead, so I guess George W would be the dude...

I agree, Ian Anderson is a good businessman, and he is moderate. Zappa would only further tear the country apart because he is far too left-wing, and the rest would not know what to do (epecially that George Bush guy ------------- If you don't stand up You don't stand a chance! |

Actually, not on this list, but if I had to pick an American musician
whose music I like for President my nomination goes to Paul Kantner.

If we were going to have a rock and roll president, I think the logical choice would be Iggy Pop, with Lemmy as Prime Minister of the UK. From the choices you gave, Ian Anderson would be my favourite - I don't always agree with his views but I think he's got his priorities in order, particularly regarding the environment. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

If Daevid Allan would be president everything would go to anarchy and he would give drugs to all the children.

Bush only Bush. Where`s Petrucci?   Only USA citizens are able to candidate for US president so Gildenlow is out , but he would be a great politican - nobody understands his concepts but everyone agree he`s a genius.------------- http://www.lastfm.pl/user/tomash33 - Last.fm |

I would like the president of United States to show some respect for the nature and the environment; mainly regarding the greenhouse effect and the illegal cutting of forests all around the world. The guy should also be strong with the economy issues and not be a bloody right-winger. So .. ahem.. how about Varg Vikernes? |

Zappa would be interesting, though being deceased doesn't help his chances. Gildenlow is my choice though. Peace & take care |
