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

not that surprising, obv. I should say.

Who's the goth girl in the last pic?

Lady Gaga.

Ok, thanks.

Why is she wearing his codpiece on her head, though?

I'm not sure who these people are, either. Young Mick Jagger and two old guys?

Time to get some glasses (spectacles): that's William Burroughs and Andy Warhol.

never change, tuommy

btw 'old guy' Warhol is probably in his 40s there if it's mid - 1970s. He was 58 when he died in 1987.

Oh, ok. Doesn't seem particularly strange that Jagger and Warhol would hang out together, but maybe Burroughs is the odd person there? Then again, someone posted a pic of Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth (though I can't get the pic to show), who were once married - how could it be unexpected to see them in the same pic?

(xx-post)

I was Warhol's hair colour that made me think he was some old guy. Though IIRC he always wore a wig, right?

Yes, he did indeed. Painted his eyebrows as well, even.

The philosophy of Andy Warhol:

I thought that young people had more problems than old people, and I hoped I could last until I was older so I wouldn’t have all those problems. Then I looked around and saw that everybody who looked young had young problems and that everybody who looked old had old problems. The “old” problems looked to me easier to take than the “young” problems. So I decided to go gray so nobody would know how old I was and I would look younger to them than how old they thought I was. I would gain a lot by going gray: (1) I would have old problems, which were easier to take than young problems. (2) everyone would be impressed by how young I looked, and (3) I would be relieved of the responsibility of acting young– I could occasionally lapse into eccentricity or senility and no one would think anything of it because of my gray hair. When you’ve got gray hair, every move you make is “young” and “spry,” instead of just being normally active. It’s like you’re getting a new talent. So I died my hair gray when I was about twenty-three.

James Patrick Page, William Seward Burroughs

Well they had a taste for heroin in common but what else?

I think Burroughs wrote a review of a Zeppelin concert in the mid 70s and noted the repetitive nature of the music.
