Tom Lehrer.

Come to think of it, this phenomenon would make good subject matter for a Tom Lehrer song.

Hal Holbrook

(Prompted by seeing someone who looked like him (but wasn’t) make a cameo appearance in a Lionel Richie video. Hey, I’m working from home and I like to watch the old pop videos channel while I’m on my lunch break.)

Michael Jones, Monday, 10 February 2020 14:49 (six years ago)

All right, I'm asking: In which Lionel Richie video is there a Hal Holbrook lookalike running around?

David Hockney

As Dan Bern sang, Warhol’s dead, David Hockney’s still alive, I don’t need to paint.

It doesn't really look like him now I've seen it again!

Mamie Van Doren, 89

I always mixed her up with Monique van Vooren. Monique van Vooren missed this topic a couple of weeks ago.
