Elvis, care the to tell us who the people in your first and second pic are? I recognize only Amy Winehouse in the first, no one in the second.

Also, who are the people with John F. Kennedy?

Tuomas, Friday, 27 January 2012 09:53 (twelve years ago) link

Also, who are the people with John F. Kennedy?

OK, I'll give you this one: Judy Garland, JFK, Carol Burnett, Danny Kaye

How is it weird that three 80s pop stars appear in the same pic?

Tuomas, Friday, 27 January 2012 10:01 (twelve years ago) link

ok, this is kind of expected but still... Did the photographer survive?

I'm with Tuomas. Who are the guys in the second pic? And who's the guy next to Billy Idol?

xxps does MJ have one black hand still in that picture?

sleepingbag, Friday, 27 January 2012 10:09 (twelve years ago) link

Not sure where you're counting. Pict #2 is the Olsen Twins, Amy Winehouse, and Karl Lagerfeld. Pict #3 is Al Kooper, Norman Rockwell, and Michael Bloomfield.

Who's the girl? xxp

Milla Jovovich (with Beck)

Really? I guess you can't see his beret (which he wore all the time)

Stockhausen's Ekranoplan Quartet (Elvis Telecom), Friday, 27 January 2012 10:17 (twelve years ago) link

I can see his beret and that doesn't help me. Only famous beret wearer we know in the UK is this guy:

OK then, beret guy is Sam Kinison.

Stockhausen's Ekranoplan Quartet (Elvis Telecom), Friday, 27 January 2012 10:24 (twelve years ago) link

Yeah, I don't want to Tuomas up the thread, but it'd be good if people could post who is in the pictures, no matter how famous and obvious you think they are.

(really just for Morrissey and Phil)

Stockhausen's Ekranoplan Quartet (Elvis Telecom), Friday, 27 January 2012 10:40 (twelve years ago) link

Kinison was one of those guys whose name you heard of but had virtually no prescence here.

fun loving and xtremely tolrant (Billy Dods), Friday, 27 January 2012 10:44 (twelve years ago) link

I don't expect anyone to name everyone in this, but I heart this photo:

L-R:
Claude Bessy of Catholic Discipline and Slash zine fame
Nicole Panter, manager of the Germs and LA punk icon
Philip K. Dick

Stockhausen's Ekranoplan Quartet (Elvis Telecom), Friday, 27 January 2012 11:02 (twelve years ago) link

Among the people in the front row are Louis Jordan, Nikita Khrushchev, Shirley MacLaine, Maurice Chevalier, and Frank Sinatra

Stockhausen's Ekranoplan Quartet (Elvis Telecom), Friday, 27 January 2012 11:23 (twelve years ago) link

Photo reminds me of the Onion headline,"'Sinatra warns Russkies to knock it off - singer gives Khrushchev 24 hours to 'Drop This Commie Bunk or It's Ring-a-Ding-Ding for You Bozos'".

99.9% sure Jon Stewart is the only celebrity in this photo but i figured it was in the spirit of the thread regardless:

I don't know how strange that one is but I know that I love it. I like Norton well enough but Oldman + Bowie = :D

ENBB, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 02:59 (twelve years ago) link

I love how Bette Midler had her hand on Tom Waits's crotch up there.

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 03:02 (twelve years ago) link

Oh wow I hadn't seen that one. That picture is AWESOME.

ENBB, Tuesday, 31 January 2012 03:03 (twelve years ago) link

That isn't Jon Stewart at the DK show, btw.

Goddam, alice cooper is probably in his mid-20s at the oldest in those pictures from Friday. He looks terrible.

This may only be of interest to K-pop fans but speaking of Bill Murray, this one of him taken with Korean girl group Girls Generation is very much in the spirit of this thread:
