Agree.

Actually, the only 1960's rock band member I can recall going into US
military service back then was a member of Moby Grape, and he went in
as a volunteer, not a draftee. And that may have been after 1969.

In retrospect, given that there was a draft in the late 1960's, it's a
little surprising that no young male musicians back then were drafted
that I know of.

One might have been in the
National Guard or something briefly. You may be thinking of Jan Berry
of Jan and Dean. (Dean Torrence, being the one who was involved in the
genius plot to kidnap Frank Jr.)

Don't recall any of the above. This is the first I've read of any
connection between Jan, Dean, or Frank Jr. I am old enough to remember
(barely) Frank Jr. being kidnapped, but I've never heard of Jan or Dean
being connected to that.

Dean's been a graphic designer for many years, BTW. His company:

Jan was a medical student

Pre-med at UCLA. Both Jan and Dean were fulltime students during part
of their musical career.

while
puersuing rock fame,

By that time, I think they'd probably peaked, but given the severity of
Jan's accident, we'll never really know. Jan and Dean did eventually
resume some performing.

and during a hiatus was drafted: enraged he got in
his Corvette and slammed under a truck, a la Jayne Mansfield and
company.

I do know about the accident; ironically, on a "dead man's curve" kind
of street. Haven't heard of Jan being drafted or that being related to
his accident.

Perhaps because I was so young when the accident happened and Jan and
Dean (and almost everybody else) was eclipsed by the Beatles and that
newer generation of bands, I never heard about Jan's accident until
maybe the mid or late 1970's, when Rolling Stone did a story about the
accident and Jan and Dean's career.

He wasn't killed but suffered brain damage and was
semi-functional the rest of his life,

He eventually resumed performing; as www.JanandDean.com says, the
musical part of his brain wasn't damaged much.

which ended late 2004 as I
recall. Those two crashes were the reason for "DOT bumpers" on trucks.
As well Richard "Battlestar Galactica" Hatch played Jan pretty well in
a early-80s TV biopic.

Glen Campbell is still a great guitar player and still a miserable
individual, at least on all three occasions I have been in his
presence.

Campbell's mentioned on Jan and Dean's web site, BTW, as a member of
the Wrecking Crew working with Brian Wilson.
