Photos taken of famous people together that you would never have expected to be together but make you happy all the same.

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 )

So crowded in fact that they had to boot MJ out of frame to fit in Warhol and his entourage...

Warhol is like the Dave Lee Roth of the 70's...

Took me a while to figure out Randy Newman because he is rail thin in that picture. Not a look I usually associate with him.

Warhol is like the Dave Lee Roth of the 70's...
who was the DLR of the 90's and 00's?

He had wanted to do the tonsure first, but in his day a spitcurl was as far as you could go.
