but really came to post
John Scofield/John Abercrombie

Which maybe I should post on rolling Jazz thread

I have that same problem.

Just found out that C. P. Scott and C. P. Snow are not the same person, mind = very mildly blown

Jonathan Ive
Jimmy Iovine

Donald J Trump
A putrefying pumpkin

Love seeing that guy's name, just over and over again. All over Facebook. All over Twitter. All over ILX. Thanks.

Well, the guy dated stevie nicks and was on American Idol, so a certain level of ubiquity is to be expected.

Bloody Birthday
Happy Birthday To Me

tony curtis
tony randall

i know who they are & what they look like but whenever i hear someone talk about one tony i catch myself picturing the other tony

Todd Haynes
Todd Solondz

Greg Mottola
Gregg Araki

I don't always get them mixed up--I know who made the Dylan film, and know who made Adventureland--but I do sometimes have to stop for a few seconds to make sure I'm referring to the right one.

Those Todds always catch me out too.

Trevor Watts
Trevor Wishart

Aoste (France) and Aosta (Northern Italy). They both have meat products.

Dyess, Arkansas/Delight, Arkansas

If it helps any, GC was really from Billstown.

Maidstone and Maidenhead.

Wendy Crewson
Wendie Malick

If it helps any, GC was really from Billstown.

don't get me wrong, it is part of the Delight Metroplex.

Lol

Mary Louise Parker and Mary Stuart Masterson

I blame Fried Green Tomatoes.

Mary-Louise Parker and Molly Parker. I'm rewatching Six Feet Under right now, and I'm looking at Rabbi Ari and wondering if it was the same actress in Angels in America.

Ween
Weezer
Wheatus

They were all "alternative" rock bands of the 90s that got some play on MTV, I guess? But hell if I can remember which is which.

You could try listening to the music

No thanks! Can't really stand that stuff.

Agree with Tuomas about those W bands. Have no idea which is which.

Wheatus and Weezer. Both were punkish American rock bands that had a novelty hit song in the 90s, never could remember which was which.

Ween and Weezer for me.

fp'd Anatol for accidentally adding Ween to Tuomas' confusion tally

Clint Mansell and Clint Boon.

Dennis Perrin
Dennis Pennis

Phoebe Snow
Libby Titus

i love michael b jordan but it always takes me at least 2 or 3 passes to remember his name correctly

anthony c hall
nope
michael b anthony
nope
etc

His father's name is ... Michael A. Jordan.

(xposts) I get Phoebe Snow and Minnie Ripperton mixed up--"Poetry Man" and "Lovin' You" were released within a couple of weeks of each other and, I'm guessing, climbed the charts at the same time.

I also get Minnie Ripperton and Minnie Riperton mixed up.

Joe Higgs/Joe Gibbs

Maybe should add
Sugar Minott/Jackie Mittoo

Joe Higgs/Joe Gibbs definitely.

That John Cale song where he sings "I never wrote a song named 'cocaine'" should include an extra verse just for me that says "I never recorded an album with Bob Newhart"

idgi

My way of saying I confuse Bob Newhart and bob neuwirth

Why would you get Bob Newhart confused with Lilith from "Cheers"?

I've always thought he was a real "ice queen"

I know who Michael B Jordan is, but I do often confuse Michael C Hall with Anthony Michael Hall.

This is more like an Oh! I Know I'll Always Get Those Two Mixed Up post. I've seen both My Cousin Rachel and Lady Macbeth the past month, and they've already merged in my mind.

Ed Walsh/Eddie Plank/Ed Reulbach

Their careers were almost simultaneous. The first two are in the HOF; Walsh had the ridiculously low ERA, Plank 300+ wins. Reulbach's not in there, but his ERA fell between the two, and his W-L record was very similar to Walsh's.

Rube Waddell/Rube Marquard

These two are easier to sort out. They're both in the HOF, but Marquard got started just as Waddell's career was winding down. Marquard looks like a really specious HOF pick; Waddell was the better pitcher, though he did have a short career. No stories that I know of about Marquard; Waddell, according to one of the first baseball books I ever read, liked to chase trains--he was, depending upon what era was describing him, either eccentric or crazy or, according to Bill James, most likely developmentally challenged.

Reading Jay Jaffe's HOF book right now.

waddell also liked to chase firetrucks iirc :D
