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

awesome

I dunno. That one doesn't seem so strange.

James Brown and two white guys?

weak

I have no who the other two are... But at this point I've given up hope people would actually include the names with the pics.

You know, if you don't recognize them by sight anyway, what's it gonna matter if you know their names or not?

Like you're going to be, "Oh, it's WAYNE COYNE. HILARIOUS."

i'm bad w/faces, i haven't even recognised many of the people i do know in this thread. and i know who wayne coyne is, and do find that funny (in a bad way), but wouldn't have recognised him by sight

The same with me, I don't every celebrity by the face but I might recognize the name. I know about Flaming Lips but I didn't know what their singer looks like.

ok, those white guys are pope gregory the 9th and errol flynn

<3 the truman/bacall pix

maybe tuomas has prosopagnosia

apparently mary ann siegart (of the times and private eye fame) claims to have it, tho it cld just be an excuse when she forgets who ppl are

omg the james dean/eartha kitt dance class <3

Gotta love this one of Che Guevara + Jean-Paul Sartre. Che sparking up the old boy's cigar for him...

nb: i wouldn't have recognised either of them w/o a caption! james dean doesn't look that much like himself in those pictures. and i know more about eartha kitt from reading about her and listening to her, so i don't really have any visual cues for her. it's kind of annoying that people are making a big principle out of not captioning the photos.

xp

i don't think people are making a principle about it. they just can't be bothered.

it takes a few seconds ffs

pleasant plains is definitely refusing to do it on principle, dunno about anyone else

Andy + Michael & the guys

that waylon and buddy one is awesome, those two were totally trouble

Francis Bacon and William S. Burroughs

Little bit from both.

If all the names were there for everyone to see, how would certain people do their faux-naïf trolling? Half the fun would be gone.

If you recognize the faces of every celebrity, good for you, but not being able to do so is not "faux-naïf trolling".

I'm sorry that not everyone recognized KEITH RICHARDS, THE LEAD GUITARIST AND CO-SONGWRITER FROM THE MOST FAMOUS ROCK AND ROLL BAND OF THE PAST FIFTY YEARS.

The other white guy is Jim Belushi, star of the hit 80s sitcom, "Everybody Loves Raymond".

unpleasant plains

Over here we only know him from that Pirates of the Caribbean movie. xp

I'm sorry that not everyone recognized KEITH RICHARDS, THE LEAD GUITARIST AND CO-SONGWRITER FROM THE MOST FAMOUS ROCK AND ROLL BAND OF THE PAST FIFTY YEARS.

which band is this?

Elbow, innit.

having a laugh, good one.

I know who Keith Richards and Jim Belushi are, but I didn't recognize them in that pic. Which is exactly why I asked people to mention the names, because now I get why the photo is unexpected.
