Lubbock Lou and his Jughuggers on the Muppet Wiki (in case the name wasn't familiar - the characters themselves probably are)
Okay, so it's pretty obvious that when these muppets were designed, they were based on real-life figures.
Lubbock Lou = Fidel Castro
Slim Wilson = Willie Nelson
Lou = Janis Joplin
Gramps = Grandpa Jones (so says my father; frankly, I can't see the resemblance)
Zeke = Jerry Garcia.
That leaves one person. Bubba. For quite a long time, this jug player has stymied me. Is he the odd man out, the one muppet who isn't supposed to represent someone else? Or have I just missed this one entirely?
Anyone else have thoughts like this?
