I was gonna go with Peter Sutcliffe, Jimmy Saville and Frank Bruno but I guess that it doesn't really fit the criteria.

doesn't it make you happy to think that an elderly tv star, a working class yorkshireman and a bipolar west indian sportsman can be friends despite their divergent backgrounds

Oh, I see unpredictable johnny rodz had already mentioned this. Anyways. There it is. Great advert for Capital Gold there too.

Brad Pitt and Sinitta! I knew about that, but seem to have ousted it from my mind UNTIL NOW.

Your letter...
was only the start of it
But now you've got the chance
to beat the shit out of Sutcliffe
Now you've done it...
Jim has Fixed It for you

that photo is only a year old but it verily screams 1991

triffic bunch of lads but you'd think they'd been locked up for twenty years

It was taken in 1991...

Studio 54 pix are probably considered cheating but

It appears that they may have been shooting a PSA for on the dangers of excessive plastic surgery.

It would be nice if people actually wrote the names of the people in the pics, I have no idea who some of these foks are...

http://freakshowbusiness.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/lacrew2.jpg?w=500&h=593

I guess that's Tina Turner and The Rolling Stones, but who are the others in the pic?

Who's the woman with Cohen?

http://media.thewho.com/non_secure/images/20080625/76_30sephsmithodeon/76_30sephsmithodeon_640.jpg

I have no idea who any of these are?

http://www.pe.com/imagesdaily/2010/01-18/billcorgan_400.jpg

The url says this is the Smashing Pumpkins singer, but is the clowm suppposed to be famous?

Who are these people? Is the person on the left Mel Gibson? The guy on the right looks like the current King of Sweden when he was younger.

Who's Michael Jackson hanging with?

Hold on, the guy in the last pic is the Aerosmith dude, right?

seriously?

http://freakshowbusiness.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/lacrew2.jpg?w=500&h=593

Keith Richard, Hall & Oates, Ron Wood
Tina Turner, Mick Jagger, Madonna, Bob Dylan

xp Steve Rubell (co-owner of Studio 54), MJ, Steven Tyler (of Aerosmith), and Cherie Currie (from The Runaways).

Surely Finland is not THAT culturally isolated?

Ah. Steve Rubell, not Billy Joel then. (Thought that who it was)

OK from top to bottom:

Tina and RS + Madonna, Bob Dylan and Hall and Oates

Cohen and Taylor Swift

Pete Townsend top R and Eric Clapton and no clue about the others

I do not think the clown is supposed to be famous

Lou Reed, Bob Dylan and Tom Pettey - no clue about dude on right

Guy to M Jackson's right is Steven Tyler from Aerosmith. I don't know about the others.

Ha I thought it was billy joel first too!

The clown is only famous in America: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bozo_the_Clown

lol'd at Mel Gibson/Lou Reed mixup.

Thanks! I had no idea who Cherie Currie or Steve Rubell were, I just thought it's just MJ and Tyler with some random people. And Hall & Oates is just a name to me, I didn't know what they look like. I guess I should've recognized Madonna, but she looks kinda unfamiliar in that pic.

(xxxx-post)

Ha I thought Ron Wood was Geddy Lee.

Yeah, it's the early Madonna look.

Is the person on the left Mel Gibson?

That's Lou Reed, and sitting next to him it Bob Dylan. Seated in front of them is Tom Petty, and...

The guy on the right looks like the current King of Sweden when he was younger.

...the guy standing is Randy Newman.

lol'd at Mel Gibson/Lou Reed mixup.

Why would it be unexpected that these three are hanging together? Aren't they all American rock musicians?

Mel Gibson/Lou Reed mixup pretty amazing imo.

LOL RANDY NEWMAN! How weird.

How are the ppl with Townshend and Clapton

(x-post)

Okay, I'm not sure who Randy Newman is though? A film composer?

Who are the people obv

randy newman killed a bunch of prostitutes in northern england in the 70s

The Townshend picture: I went to thewho.com and found it there. Caption: "1976-Pete backstage at Hammersmith Odeon with Don Williams
and Ronnie Lane, Danny Flowers (Don's guitarist) and Eric Clapton. 30th September."

Pete Townsend top R and Eric Clapton and no clue about the others

(standing) Ronnie Lane, Don Williams, Pete Townshend
(crouching) Danny Flowers, Eric Clapton

Okay, but which one of those is the unexpected one?

xxxp also Newman allegedly hates short people, believing that they have no reason to live...

Townshend / Clapton together in one picture, maybe that was unexpected at the time?

Nope, that wasn't it - Townshend organised a benefit for Clapton a couple of years earlier and they were friends (first paragraph here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Clapton#Solo_career )

This is a fantastic find! Two of my favourite people basically...imagine what they talked about.

haha i totally didn't recognise madonna in that picture either

t/s sutcliffe jugend vs ciccone youth
