Guys, don't you realize that providing incomplete information in this manner, namely posting insufficiently captioned photos, is exactly the kind of thing that is keeping Tuomas and lex from the kind of aleph-like knowledge they are always striving to achieve?

x-post Yeah, I'm all for IDing people like Rosalyn Carter, but if you can't recognize Madonna or Bob Dylan why even read this thread?

Yeah, but you didn't name names, Suzy :)

Madchen, Tuesday, 7 September 2010 14:00 (fifteen years ago)

given that their 'little drummer boy' is the standard xmas version, it's hardly 'never have expected ' material though?

Mr Thorpe really going to town on that guitar there.

Duncan Donuts (Ned Trifle II), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 15:40 (fifteen years ago)

That Jeremy Thorpe one is classic!

They weren't "adversaries" at the time... but, fuck it, it's just a great photo:

Who's the guy on the left?

L-R: Hans Fjellestad, Rick Wakeman, Bernie Worrell and Robert Moog.

Fjellestad directed a documentary about Moog in which Wakeman and Worrell performed and conversed with Moog about how much they loved the design of the Minimoog.

Poldark City (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 16:19 (fifteen years ago)

It's just too bad Momus wasn't there.

Why has no one posted this picture of Jello Biafria kissing Tammy Faye Bakker:

I JUST NEED TO SING "CRAZY FOR YOU" TO KNOW HOW MY HEART FEELS (Stevie D), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 17:19 (fifteen years ago)

saville and elvis is the best yet. superb.

Googling reveals that Jimmy Saville hosted Top of the Pops. Why is it strange for him to have posed with Elvis?

jaymc, Tuesday, 7 September 2010 17:31 (fifteen years ago)

Well, Elvis never did Top of the Pops, having only been in the UK once. Is probably not that strange a photo, but Savile himself is v.v.v. strange, so anything involving him at all has insta-weird overtones.

ailsa, Tuesday, 7 September 2010 17:33 (fifteen years ago)

^ yeah

k¸ (darraghmac), Tuesday, 7 September 2010 17:34 (fifteen years ago)

Jello and Tammy Faye ftw!

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 7 September 2010 17:35 (fifteen years ago)

Was trying to figure out if the other person in the photo with them was also a celebrity: Isabella Rosellini? Freddie Mercury? but came up short.
