The picture of Chavez and Courtney Love makes me want to puke.

God, Roth is destroyed in that picture.

Errrr didn't mean to post it twice. I don't like it that much.

you must have really liked that photo, to have posted it twice

:p

I scrolled down, didn't realise it was a duplicate pic, and thought that my browser was as wasted as DLR.

Courtney Love looks exactly like the Joker in that picture.

Who is Mike Tyson with in that picture?

Joyce Carol Oates.

OK, that really does make me inexplicably happy.

xpost

I love that picture so much.

lol- xpost - Isn't it great?

Guess with Tyson: Joyce Carol Oates??? I know she's done a lot of writing about boxing, so that one might not be that weird.

xxpost

astley/morrissey ftw

Astley/Moz should have covered each other's songs.

[MALWARE REMOVED]

aw, ani looks so cute upthread

I kind of love Leonard and Taylor together up there. Not, like, as a couple. Just as photo subjects.

"Iiiiii just want to tell you, tell you, tell you how I'm feeling/Want to, want to, want to make you understaaaaand"

good thread

Who is with Leonard Cohen and Morrissey in those last two?

oh duh, lady gaga. but that other guy is...?

http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/kerrylil-kim.jpg

x-post

iirc it's some dude in the opening band she was touring with

I think the girl with Cohen is T Swift and that it's just an awful pic of her.

Ok, I see Pete Townshend and Eric Clapton on the right, but who are the others?

haha fuck me that Rick Astley / Mozza photo!!

http://images.mirror.co.uk/upl/m4/aug2010/4/3/pic-image-3-679512530.jpg

Holy crap @ the P Farrell/T Blair pic. Is Blair a shorty or is Farrell freakishly tall? He looks mega strange in that pic.

Pitbull

Jimmy Buffet brings them all together ...

As far as I know, Pitbull was just at home, chilling, when there's this 'pop' and he's suddenly onstage. But that's fine, he'll roll with it.

Can we have some names, I recognize some people there. (By the way outside the USA knows who Jimmy Buffett is).

According to the hashtags on it: Harrison Ford, Paul McCartney, Judd Apatow, Woody Harrelson, Brandie Carlisle, Sheryl Crow, Bon Jovi, Joe Walsh, and I assume everyone else there that I don't recognise is The Eagles.

I thought I saw Clapton and George Lucas at first... and Andrew Tate!

Yeah, there's someone that my eye took for Dylan for a second too

Will Arnett randomly in the middle of the stage.

Byrne and Rodrigo? I could see that on a scorecard. But Mark Hamill and Dave Davies? That's a good one.

pretty sure there's a photo of david byrne with almost any person you could name

looking confused, murmuring "this is not my beautiful house..."

This photoset might be famous but I've never seen it before. Claudia Cardinale and Frank Zappa.

whoa that's a great one

People older than me probably know this, but there are two Debbie Harry music videos directed by and co-starring H.R. Giger.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOhHmlpg-9k

I didn't know that, so thank you!

He designed the cover for that solo album iirc

yeah, the kebab skewers looked familiar, hadn't seen the videos though. and the second one was none-more-goth in looks, but aor musically

(the second one - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbIfKQTY50I )

Chris Stein talks about how he and Debbie met Giger and they became friends, leading to Giger's work for them, here:

Halle Berry and Frank Robinson, 2003:

I guess this shouldn't be all that surprising--Berry had been married to David Justice a few years earlier--but generationally there's a disconnect for me there.

Huey Lewis, various members of Jefferson Starship and the Residents.

Oops that's Karlheinz Stockhausen, here's Huey Lewis, various members of Jefferson Starship and the Residents.

tbf though, not only are Jefferson Starship and the Residents both San Francisco bands but the Residents appeared in Jefferson Starship video...

it's probably already been posted on this thread at some point, but here's the Residents with Conway Twitty

oh, and David Sandborn on the saxophone - I'd forgotten he was there as well

For the many hundreds of you who have demanded to see a photo of Bela Lugosi with a young Elaine Stritch, your long national nightmare is over. Here they are, in April of 1947, in the comedy-mystery "3 Indelicate Ladies," which played at the Shubert Theatre in New Haven, CT. pic.twitter.com/TPffiaKut6
