Well, there are many bands titled "Soand So and the Somethings" which
makes
it obvious that it is not a democracy. Barry seemed to be feeling his
way
to something in between. R and M could be featured on songs and run some
sessions, but only so far as Barry felt it was appropriate. It is
complicated.

Lol. That's what I always learned in Catholic School.

It was still the Holy Ghost when I was in school. I always thought there
weren't enough stories about the Holy Ghost. He was mysterious, as
befitting a ghost. Should there have been a Third Testament about his
doings? All those Lost Books and I can't think of one that went down this
trail.
OK so if Barry is God the Father, and if Maurice's work behind the scenes
makes him the Ghost, what does that make Robin?

... wondering if I will be thrown off the list again after this one.

Well, people take their religious views quite seriously, so rather than say
Barry is God, I would say something less controversial. He's just Rush
Limbaugh. They're both old men in South Florida who got rich by being
recognizable -- and frquently loathed -- on the airwaves. To what extent
either of them think they are God, or look like Him, is best left to their
critics to decide.
I once wanted to take a rather religious Andrew Lloyd Webber production and
recast it with Jim Hensons muppets. Trademark infringement would have
stopped me soon enough, but dear friends I brainstormed this idea with said
I ruined the whole album for them. But in my heart, I know it could have
worked.
So, to answer your question: Barry is Kermit, Robin is Big Bird, and
Maurice is Cookie Monster.
There. I said it. Now to prepare myself for the inevitable...
