i image-googled "dean marilyn elvis" and found a bunch, lord knows what you're searching for ("rock and roll heaven"?)

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 20:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I kinda like the one of Sid flippin' off Kurt, but I have no idea why Hendrix is there (other than that maybe it's because he's from Seattle).

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 20:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Is Sid from there, too?

Well, Kurt didn't.

Cobain famously overdosed on BULLETS TO THE HEAD.

LOL

It will make you forget that BULLETS KILL IN YR BRANE.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 20:39 (twenty-one years ago)

What, did you learn to spell from Sonic Youth album covers?

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 20:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I only own two.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 20:43 (twenty-one years ago)

That's about one too many.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 20:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I only ever listened to one.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 20:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Seriously, Daydream nation never even got opened.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 20:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Let's not kill this great thread with a discussion about Sonic Youth, ok?

Exactly what is that baby/cherub doing?

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 21:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Blowing him, of course.

the restaurant where i work is decorated with large portraits of dead rock stars.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 21:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm paraphrasing here, from an old Lemmings routine.

[V.O.] (John Belushi):
"On lead guitar, Jimi Hendrix! On second guitar, Duane Allman. On vocals, Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin! On bass, Paul McCartney. On keyboards, Brian Jones! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE ALL-STAR DEAD BAND!!!"

i can't laugh too hard at this stuff, it really hurts me in my heart. i haven't developed a sensibility that can happily digest this kind of kitsch.

well, here's an odd pantheon

sorry for the link screwup. i'm an ILM newbie.

Here you go:

fuck, I'm not a newbie and I focked that oop.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 1 July 2004 19:16 (twenty-one years ago)

It apparently doesn't want to be displayed.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 1 July 2004 19:16 (twenty-one years ago)

paul mccartney?

"Rest In Peace"

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 20:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Funny that dead rock & rap stars are sentimentalized this way more than country stars. A search for "hillbilly heaven" images turns up nothing but Tex Ritter records & vacation homes in the Ozarks. Kurt & Jimi, Pac & Biggie must be having more fun up there than Hank & Patsy.

― briania (briania), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 21:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Yay, revival.
Who's the guy in the upper left corner of that last one?!

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 22:14 (twenty-one years ago)

looks like Marvin.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 22:15 (twenty-one years ago)

is there and ODB R.I.P. artwork out there yet? Missy Elliott's probably going to get an ODB mural airbrushed on her face for her next video

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 22:16 (twenty-one years ago)

I think it's Liberace, not Marvin.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 22:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Why is Marvin Gaye depicted as so much smaller than marginal talents like Left Eye and Big Pun???

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 22:30 (twenty-one years ago)

That's not Big Pun, that's Biggie!

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 22:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Big Pun is far right, I believe. In this configuration I believe Marvin (and Marley) are sort of "historical background."

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 22:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, you mean on the right. Sorry.

Anyway, I like the (break dancing?) angels best.

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 22:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Left to right (it says here):

Robert De Niro, Richard Gere, Tom Cruise, Clint Eastwood, James Dean, Kevin Costner, Brad Pitt, Keanu Reeves, Mel Gibson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean Claude Van Damme, Jack Nicholson, Sylvester Stallone (above)
