The Specials

Purpose:
Determine a band's leader by analyzing a publicity photo.

Disclaimer:
A band's inclusion on this blog reflects neither an endorsement nor a criticism of its music. This post is merely intended as a spotlight on the inner political workings of a collection of individuals who are in the midst of a cooperative, creative endeavor.

The Process:
You, dear reader, please answer the question, "Who's in charge here?"

After sufficient discussion has taken place, a verdict can then be passed based on a majority vote.

Band: The Specials
Genre: Ska
Website: http://www.thespecials.com/

Voting ends on: Monday, May 26th, 9:00am CST (GMT-5)



THE VERDICT (Updated!)

Voting has ended. Here is the tally.

No One - 1 vote
The Chess King - 8 votes
Checkered Jacket - 3 votes
Hat-Raiser - 1 vote
Willem Dafoe, the Chess King's puppetmaster - 1 vote


Some people might say the leader was easy to discern in this photo, but at least he wasn't powering a lightbulb with his bare hand.


The pattern juggler lifts his hand
The orchestra begin
As slowly turns the grinding wheel
In the court of the chess king.
