Tax Lawyers Are Just Like Rock Stars, But Even Sexier
Deep down inside, each and every tax lawyer is really a rock star.
Sean, my name is Duff McKagan. I played in Guns ‘N Roses and Velvet Revolver. When Carrie told me I had an opportunity to come here to your office, I jumped at the chance. What’s important is you stay doing what you do. The logistics? I don’t understand. I go out on tour, I don’t know what the hell I’m doing. My tax lawyer comes into my life… everything is suddenly clear, and my taxes are paid. There’s enough bass players out there, Sean.
— Duff McKagan, acting as himself on IFC’s sketch comedy show, Portlandia, during an intervention for Carrie Brownstein’s boyfriend, Sean, a tax lawyer who wanted to play the bass guitar in a band. Later in the episode, Sean goes on to play a sold-out, one-man show entitled “A Guide to 1099s,” where he sits at a desk on stage, answers tax law questions, and is met with cheers and requests for him to perform ordinary office tasks, like send a fax.
