Aside from Jake & Elwood...

Mine is Matt "Guitar" Murphy. He seems to enjoy every moment he's playing.

Mr Fabulous. Love him.

Hello Sir, have you heard of the Himalayan Leaping Gazelle?

Mister Fab.

Mr Fabulous was probably the best actor (the scene in the Chez Paul springs to mind…) but I always found Donald ‘Duck’ Dunn hilarious.

‘Scoot over goddamnit!’

As a new bass player myself, Donald "Duck" Dunn.

Mr. Fabulous and Blue Lou Marini for me.

Never be complete.

Steve Cropper is the original Blues Brother.

But in the movie Dunn gets the best lines.

Don't have a favorite and they all have the best nicknames:

Willie "Too Big" Hall
Matt "Guitar" Murphy
Tom "Bones" Malone
Steve "The Colonel" Cropper
Donald "Duck" Dunn
"Blue" Lou Marini
Alan "Mr. Fabulous" Rubenstein

The only one that didn't have a nickname was Murphy Dunne.
