Leon Russell often wore a top hat. Sometimes a cowboy hat, sometimes something else, but people seem to remember the top hat most often.

Look up the words "gracious", "professional," "incandescent," and "muscle" in Webster's Dictionary. By each, you'll find a picture of a guy with long hair, a top hat, and a quixotic smile. Those of you who've been similarly touched will know what I mean. The rest will just have to take it on faith that, one night in an empty room in a loud town, Leon wrote The Book.

Barry Manilow often wears one.

Anthony Kiedis of Red Hot Chili Peppers has worn one on many occasions.

Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins/Zwan as well.

Jimmy Page wore a top hat-like adornment at times.

But I imagine it is Slash of Guns n Roses that you seek.

We're goin' hoppin'
We're goin' happin' today
Where things are poppin'
The philadelphia way
We're gonna drop in
On all the music they play
On the bandstand

Sorry to admit that I DO know the lyrics (in part) to this song. It IS Rock and Roll at the core.

Other than that he is a Square Peg in my world.
