Question: Japanese artist Cornelius has been described as the modern-day equivalent of which legendary American singer, songwriter and producer?
Context: A Chewbacca defense is the name in the United States given to a legal strategy in which the aim of the argument seems to be to deliberately confuse the jury rather than to factually refute the case of the other side.  This term was used in an episode of the animated series "South Park", "Chef Aid", which premiered on October 7, 1998.  This episode satirized attorney Johnnie Cochran's closing argument defending O. J. Simpson in his murder trial.  The term has since been commonly used in describing legal cases, especially criminal ones.  The concept of disguising a flaw in one's argument by presenting large amounts of irrelevant information has previously been described as the modern-day equivalent of a "red herring" or the fallacy "ignoratio elenchi" (irrelevant conclusion).
