Oh! I Always Get Those Two Mixed Up!

I mean, what's the point of having two glam rock singers named "Stardust"? Which one of them came first?

Dennis Quaid and Jeff Bridges

I don't get them confused, per se, but I always seem to forget that Jeff Bridges' name isn't "Jeff Daniels". It takes me a second before I think, "Oh, wait. Jeff Daniels is that other guy."

Yeah, that's good. I think there's another Ron in there too.

Or maybe I'm thinking of when Ron Silver plays himself in "Heat Vision and Jack."

Yeah, thanks rosemary, it was the first of those guys, the one who played "Kaz."

Ha, Ron Rifkin's imdb page says he is sometimes confused with Joel Grey.

I often mix Jeff Bridges and Jeff Daniels too. They even look a bit like each other:

I know who they are and what they did, but sometimes when I eat Eggs Benedict I start thinking about Ben Franklin with the kite getting over with the key, and then having to clear my mind and think of traitors.

The various wolf bands, with the exception of Wolf Eyes and AIDS Wolf, the latter being the only one I've actually listened to.

― photoshop your disgusting ass partner into passive-aggressive notes (sarahel), Wednesday, 22 April 2009 19:14 (4 years ago) Permalink

Don't forget Peanut Butter Wolf.

― moe greene dolphin street (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 22 April 2009 19:17 (4 years ago) Permalink

They're one of the wolf bands I get mixed up with the wolf bands that aren't Wolf Eyes or AIDS Wolf. I'm clear on those two.

― photoshop your disgusting ass partner into passive-aggressive notes (sarahel), Wednesday, 22 April 2009 19:20 (4 years ago) Permalink

For a while it was just Peanut Butter Wolf and Guitar Wolf, and I'd forget which one was Japanese.

on this note, Superchunk / Superdrag / Supertramp. I know who they all are, but still have to think for a second whenever I see any of their names.
