Visit the kelpforest....

Ok, I have a fondness for well-done action figures, and picked up a couple I couldn't resist the other day. Only I usually leave them in the packages. Angus wore me down begging me to open this one, because it's our favorite character from Cowboy Bebop. Jet Black - owner of the Bebop, orchestrator of bounty captures, and collector and feeder of strays, both human and animal. All the teenage fans love the cute younger guys, but give me a guy who can cook any day; who cares if he has hair.

(I noticed this figure has a flaw; his arm closest to the camera is supposed to be artificial, but they painted over the prothesis hand to match his other one. It's not supposed to.)

...Jet Black (of Cowboy Bebop) liked folk music as well as blues? How do you think his singing voice would sound? Anything like this?

(and listen...)

Similarities - They look a little alike, Jet owns a former fishing vessel and has trouble making a living trawling in bounties, while Stan Rogers wrote songs about out-of-work fishermen, both very big men, both rather passionate about things they believe in, similar age (Stan died in a plane crash at 34).

Yes, I am completely crazy....
