"My Thomas Pynchon one is with Don DeLillo. I just looked up which one is older and they are the same age so that is not helpful"

DeLillo has written about 5x as many books

This thread is too large to search...I'm guessing Alan Hamel (Suzanne Somers' husband) / Alan Thicke (pop-star father) have been mentioned. Both Canadian. Hamel came up in conversation tonight.

Mike Moore (1982-1995, 161-176, 4.39 ERA)
Mike Morgan (1978-2002, 141-186, 4.23 ERA)

Both could have been used on today's Immaculate Grid for the A's/Mariners. (Why is this guy hiding that? Don't ask.)

Arthur Russell
Arthur Baker

Not always--not till today. I just finished a documentary on Arthur Russell, and it wasn't until three-quarters of the way through that I clued into the fact that I wasn't watching a documentary on Arthur Baker.

J.G. Ballard

Kate (rushomancy), Monday, 13 November 2023 17:16 (two years ago)

Speaking of J.G. Ballard always puts me in mind of Crash (1996) vs. Crash (2004).

Then you get Robert Ballard, who is associated with the Titanic. Which kinda famously... crashed.

Annabel Croft
Annabel Giles (RIP)

Like, I know who they both are and what they're famous for, but get their names confused. And I did therefore think for ages that Midge Ure was married to the former-tennis-player one.

Yeah, I get them mixed up too.

Never heard of Thewlis, but yeah, I'd probably have mixed him up with Pryce and Warner (RIP BTW). xps

Rimbaud: First Blood (Leee), Monday, 27 November 2023 19:20 (two years ago)

I always think of him as Knox Harrington, the video artist.
