    Given the amount of freaky mythology that has risen up around Jim
Morrison's occult ties, I think he's perfect for the role of the demon.
Heck, make it a PC who's in contact with the ghost of the Lizard King.  The
deal is this: Jim gives the character some great songs, but in exchange he
gets to play around in the musician's body--which means lots of drugs,
booze, and women.  Adding in a bit of voodoo would be right in line with
some of the stories about Mr. Mojo (of course, so would making him an
intelligence agent--the stories are seriously weird).

    Since Ken Hite has nixed the idea of a Suppressed Transmission column
based on sitcoms, maybe we should petition him to do one on late '60's rock
music.
