As the thread has already established Alice Cooper hung out with everyone in the 70s, one of the benefits of chronic alcoholism.

yeah, i fugured it was too good not to have been posted, but couldn't remember seeing it recently. also, as you say, alice cooper.

koogs, Monday, 17 July 2023 09:09 (two years ago)

Man, if I was rolling over to Groucho's house, I'd bring at least a 12-pack.

That George Michael / Liza / DeVitto photo is a masterpiece of accidental Renaissance composition. Their respective heights and the angles of their faces are exquisite.

Double letter typo had my hopes up there for a beat.

one month passes...

I wouldn't be surprised if this one was upthread somewhere:

Kim Gordon... and Gene Simmons? Don't know the others.

Monthly Python (Tom D.), Saturday, 16 September 2023 20:20 (two years ago)

Steve MacDonald, Mike Watt, Kira Roessler (?)

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Saturday, 16 September 2023 20:22 (two years ago)

MacDonald, Gordon, Watt, Kira ... and Gene Simmons. Granted, all bassists, but still weird to see Gene (with a crucifix?) in the mix.

Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 16 September 2023 20:24 (two years ago)

It would be kind of like seeing all four members of Kiss posing with Ian MacKaye.

Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 16 September 2023 20:25 (two years ago)

Gene looks like he's auditioning for Black Sabbath and Cypress Hill on the same day

JRN, Sunday, 17 September 2023 06:08 (two years ago)

Don't know if this one has come up before

Who's the guy on the right?

Monthly Python (Tom D.), Tuesday, 19 September 2023 21:50 (two years ago)

Probably easier to recognize him without the sunglasses

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Tuesday, 19 September 2023 21:54 (two years ago)

John Ritter? I don't think he's well known enough not to be named tbh. Outside the US, that is.

Monthly Python (Tom D.), Tuesday, 19 September 2023 21:56 (two years ago)

Wow, when did John Ritter have that haircut?

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 19 September 2023 21:59 (two years ago)

When he did the "Ringo" TV film in 1978.

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Tuesday, 19 September 2023 22:02 (two years ago)

Ritter starred in They All Laughed (1981)...surely that film known outside the U.S.?

PROBLEM CHILD!

I did not recognize John Ritter in that photo, he looks like Ronnie Milsap or a member of the band Orleans.

brimstead, Tuesday, 19 September 2023 23:19 (two years ago)

he died the same day as Johnny Cash, and was overshadowed by the greater John' death

Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 19 September 2023 23:22 (two years ago)

Ritter starred in They All Laughed (1981)...surely that film known outside the U.S.?

I'm not sure how serious you're being there, I've definitely heard of John Ritter and I've definitely never heard of that film.

It's Vincent Price on the left of the photo, in case anyone else didn't recognise him.

Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 20 September 2023 01:15 (two years ago)

Carrie Fisher appears to be getting groped.

RINGO CANCELLED

lol I thought that was time traveling pre-Fleetwood Mac Stevie Nicks.

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 20 September 2023 01:33 (two years ago)

I thought Ringo was the handsy one, but it's actually Ritter. Maybe he was in character.

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 20 September 2023 01:35 (two years ago)

Maybe he was trying to cop a feel off Ringo but missed.

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 20 September 2023 01:38 (two years ago)

I'm not sure how serious you're being there, I've definitely heard of John Ritter and I've definitely never heard of that film.

Morbs had.

Bassist photo makes me retract my wishes for an all-bass Traveling Wilburys.

pplains, Wednesday, 20 September 2023 17:07 (two years ago)

Replace Gene with Geddy for the Roy part and — it's probably still a bad idea.

Missed a layup

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 20 September 2023 18:28 (two years ago)

is there a version of that where you can see or hear any of the guests (beyond "STEE BOYS")?

vashti funyuns (sic), Wednesday, 20 September 2023 20:54 (two years ago)

I dunno, maybe on the Internet?

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 20 September 2023 21:12 (two years ago)

I guess that last one isn't surprising, but I never watched "The New Mickey Mouse Club."

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 20 September 2023 21:21 (two years ago)

nothing about this photo makes me happy

Muad'Doob (Moodles), Friday, 22 September 2023 15:40 (two years ago)

Well, David Koch being dead brings me a glimmer of hope for the guy on the left.

peace, man, Friday, 22 September 2023 16:07 (two years ago)

Who are these three?

I Left My Harp In Sam Frank's Disco (Tom D.), Friday, 22 September 2023 16:08 (two years ago)

Documentarian Ken Burns in the middle, don't know the other two.

nickn, Friday, 22 September 2023 16:10 (two years ago)

It's conservative Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas, beloved by many PBS documentary maven Ken Burns, and dead conservative billionaire activist David Koch. Who, to be fair, funded a lot of Burns docs, which doesn't make this so surprising. Just a gross glimpse of how the sausage is made.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 22 September 2023 16:12 (two years ago)

And in the background is a person thinking "Get me the fuck away from all these assholes."

I'm not typically one to complain about US politics infecting ILX threads, but I feel like we could leave it off this one.

Muad'Doob (Moodles), Friday, 22 September 2023 16:27 (two years ago)

Is Ken Burns not well known outside the US?

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 22 September 2023 16:36 (two years ago)

not at all
