No, I don't think Bonzo had anything to do with Animal.  It was all Keith 
Moon, and probably Ginger Baker (the guy from Cream).  

Heck, I was trying to decide which people I'd want in a band, and it was 
so hard!  Shoot, I know I'd want JPJ in it.  I couldn't think of an 
appropriate drummer to go with him.  I guess I'll go with Ginger Baker.  
Guitar and vocals I couldn't decide at all.  I'd have to have Bob Dylan 
on vocals (and songwriting), but I don't know if he'd fit too well with 
JPJ and Baker as his rhythm section.  Dylan's my favorite, but for this 
band I think I'll take David Byrne or even Beck.  Yeah, Beck!  That would 
be cool.  Then for guitar I don't know what I'd do.  The Edge would be 
interesting with his effects and stuff over the Baker/Jones rhythm.  
Yeah, that's my band, if that makes sense.

Hey, maybe Bill Berry who just quit REM will join JPJs band!
