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

didn't know deej had a right wing blog

Guys, don't you realize that providing incomplete information in this manner, namely posting insufficiently captioned photos, is exactly the kind of thing that is keeping Tuomas and lex from the kind of aleph-like knowledge they are always striving to achieve?

man river phoenix is so pretty at the top of this thread. rip.

x-post Yeah, I'm all for IDing people like Rosalyn Carter, but if you can't recognize Madonna or Bob Dylan why even read this thread?

I don't know if this is unexpected to people who aren't as dumb as me, but I liked anyway: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v280/tomasutpen/album6/condoncrosbylomax.jpg

Eddie Condon, Bing Crosby, Alan Lomax.

David Bowie, Bing Crosby

I did post that near the top of the thread.

Jack Kirby!

Yeah, but you didn't name names, Suzy :)

given that their 'little drummer boy' is the standard xmas version, it's hardly 'never have expected ' material though?

it was at the time

OK, that "When Legends Gather" page IS a goldmine. Thanks, Ward!

Jimi Hendrix and Jeremy Thorpe

Mr Thorpe really going to town on that guitar there.

That Jeremy Thorpe one is classic!

They weren't "adversaries" at the time... but, fuck it, it's just a great photo:

John Cage + Karlheinz Stockhausen

Something funny about that plane.

Who's the guy on the left?

L-R: Hans Fjellestad, Rick Wakeman, Bernie Worrell and Robert Moog.

Fjellestad directed a documentary about Moog in which Wakeman and Worrell performed and conversed with Moog about how much they loved the design of the Minimoog.

It's just too bad Momus wasn't there.

Why has no one posted this picture of Jello Biafria kissing Tammy Faye Bakker:

saville and elvis is the best yet. superb.

Googling reveals that Jimmy Saville hosted Top of the Pops. Why is it strange for him to have posed with Elvis?

Well, Elvis never did Top of the Pops, having only been in the UK once. Is probably not that strange a photo, but Savile himself is v.v.v. strange, so anything involving him at all has insta-weird overtones.

^ yeah

Jello and Tammy Faye ftw!

Was trying to figure out if the other person in the photo with them was also a celebrity: Isabella Rosellini? Freddie Mercury? but came up short.

HA!

Robo-Elvis?

L-R Akira Kurosawa, Sydney Pollack, Babs, and John Huston

Moments after this photo was taken, the room exploded b/c of awesomeness (Kurosawa looks like a total bro)

Sorry, I was wrong.

Stop the presses. We have a winner ladies and gentlemen. THIS makes me happiest of all:
