Photos taken of famous people together that you would never have expected to be together but make you happy all the same.

i feel like, over the years, maybe i've picked up the subtle style cues that would differentiate an unknown-to-me europoid face among "musician," "pol," "'footballer,'" "high culture icon" or "other media barnacle" but in general it's only rarely worth the investigation anyway? unless other people follow on with a lot of lols

Being needlessly oblique when others have asked you not to be is just rude. (It's not like the obliqueness is in service of a good joke or something here.)

Thru the looking glass here ppl

David Bowie and Keith Chegwin

If this thread is about sharing a great thing you've found, deliberately excluding some people from the pleasure of it seems a bit ungenerous to me. I have to confess I have no effing clue who most of the people are in these photos, nor the tenacity to keep asking, and I've only still got the thread bookmarked because of the occasional gem it throws up. The rest of the time it's an annoyance.

But then almost all of ILX is like that too.

There is a certain joy in seeing a picture and figuring out what it depicts via inference

John Cooper Clark, Tom Waits, Billy Connolly

who's the guy on the right?

kidding...

There was some pic that a Britisheser posted of a boxer shaking hands with a convicted murderer? Or something like that?

Anyway, typical single-word "whoa" replies followed, so I went ahead and googled it to read the whole story about why the non-boxer was such a pariah. I Learned Something that day.

Now, if there had been a cutline like the one there for John Cooper Clark, a fella I know nothing about, I likely wouldn't have googled it since I already know the name.

I mean, I don't catch half the "jokes" on the Excelsior thread, but I don't insist on the punchline being explained to me either.

oversimplification but john cooper clarke = british jim carroll sorta. rock poet, releases a pretty great album in the early 80s. if you really really like that hannett factory sound i'd say seek it out. they used one of his tracks in a sopranos.

John Cooper Clark, Tom Waits, Billy Connolly

always think that "dream dinner party guests" is a lazy Q&A standby but if it must be asked this would be a great answer

and in which year is your dream dinner party taking place

well i can mix and match in my dreams, but 1980ish seems like a good time

Siouxsie Sioux and Marc Bolan.
Maybe not too surprising but I don't think of their careers as overlapping.

Seeing pix like that or reading about what John Lennon thought of Bruce Springsteen always weirds me out a little bit.

Bolan met all the punks

Beach Buddha

Moon idolised the Beach Boys;[16] Roger Daltrey later said that given the opportunity, Moon would have left to play for the California band even at the peak of the Who's fame.[17]

huh

"I Get Around" with KM on the drums woulda been somethin'.

no kidding

this what-if is rly blowing my mind

Road movie starring Keith Moon and James Taylor.

veg, you must read Dear Boy, the keith moon bio, if you've not read it. heartbreaking and depressing, but an amazing piece of work, and goes deep into keith's surf music obsession too.

ooh thanks! i'll check it out!

I refuse to write a caption for this one.

- "That is a magnificent observation."
