You mean Dee Dee Ramone's uncle? To be fair to them, they were never a band of lookers in their prime, they probably look better now.

The REO photo is such a beautiful and pure expression of generations working together, Boomers dressed by a Gen X stylist who doesn't realize it's not 2004, back when the stylist last had a good paying gig overseeing a bunch of Millennial acts. How many have worn those chains and skull rings!?

Why is there a teen in the Eagles? Is he one of Glenn Fry's love children?

Moodles, Wednesday, 29 November 2017 22:30 (eight years ago)

No, that's Timothy B. Schmit. Been with the band since '77.

pplains, Wednesday, 29 November 2017 22:38 (eight years ago)

Ha, I think that literally is Glenn Frey's son.

I’d be very disappointed if Eiffel 65 and Blue didn’t use this opportunity to get on stage together for a joint performance of Blue.

... also suitable for the 'Band photos where one member refuses to play along' thread, somebody didn't get the memo about hands in pockets.

Photosensitivity etc aside, why oh why do people in bands STILL think sunglasses are cool?

quite the polar opposite of old bastard couldn't gaf swag - old tryhard, self-conscious, po-faced not swag at all!

calzino, Thursday, 22 November 2018 16:28 (seven years ago)

At some point Martha Stewart untucked her shirt and never tucked it back in. I have noticed this phenomenon with many casual-dress celebrities since.

On the other hand shirts keep getting made with less and less fabric so it’s hard to keep them tucked in past a certain point of middle aged spread.

That is one long shirt - I assume that's why he hasn't got his hands in pockets.

Monica Kindle (Tom D.), Thursday, 22 November 2018 17:08 (seven years ago)

Judging by the creases running across the fabric, it may have been purchased en route to the photo shoot, unpackaged/unpinned, and donned... (Wrong size? Too late now.)

my guitar friend wants his money (morrisp), Thursday, 22 November 2018 17:09 (seven years ago)

Sunglasses guy needs a keyboard skinny tie if he really wants to look cool.

Tucked in shirts are annoying and make me feel more bulbous
