does it beat keyboard player for the who`s who in rock?

Duh? A bass player beats out a keyboard player all day, pal. But what band(s)? We'll have to do some analysis with regards to popularity of band as well as distance to lead singer and the front of the stage. These things matter. But don't worry, I've got experts for this sort of thing.

I always joke with my dad about him being a corporate lawyer: "Why couldn't you have a more respectful career, dad? You couldn't have been a drug dealer instead? No, you had to choose the sleazy career of a corporate lawyer".
