Rock star becomes beltway bandit

Here's an interesting one: former Steely Dan and Doobie Brothers guitarist Jeff Baxter has become a high powered defense consultant. From Wizbang.

I saw that too. The WS Journal had a front-pager article on him, complete with the pointillistic portrait thingy they do. He looked like... well, like "Skunk" Baxter, former Doobie Brother. What a good life he's had.

BTW, today's Journal features pointillistic portraits of Cousteau and Chablis, rich-people dogs that didn't make it into new model doggy day care centers.

A far cry from a dignified bust of Warren Buffett or even Jimmy Buffett (who are distant cousins and friends. Jimmy owns some Berkshire Hathaway shares from waaaay back and plays at BH stockholder meetings. Hey... if Mick Jagger can have an MBA from the LSE...)

And the only pseudo-negative the Journal had on him was that he can, at times, be a bit of a self-promoter.

Well, that and the fact that much of his wisdom in the area came from reading a magazine his neighbor gave him, plus a plug from Dana Rohrabacher.

Well, all that, plus the fact he's a hawk in Hollywood, and could be used like a wrench.

Which, well good for him. With his penchant for oil-eating bacteria, he'll go far.
