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

I'm afraid I am British and he wasn't in Naked Gun or any high profile murder case. It takes more than a couple of Super Bowls for your name to cross the pond.

fair enough. He's also hard to recognize without the trademark moustache.

Wait, I never would have expected Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Eric Clapton to be together? pffft. I thought that trio got together for brunch every Sunday.

I agree that the second half of the title of the thread has been oft neglected of late.

I was waiting for that objection but tbf I'd be surprised if the three of them have been in the same room much of late. That photo was taken backstage at the old groaner's 30th anniversary shindig at Madison Square Garden.

Besides I think a lot of the pleasure from some of these photos comes out of the fact that they are unposed and informal, which that one certainly is.

Which old groaner?

Dylan.

Miles' face = classic

they shared the same hairdresser.

I'm pretty sure Miles is actually wearing some of Kenny G's hair.

RZA, YOKO

sheeut, how was that arranged? you have any context?

RZA's a bigtime chess player. Chess pieces were part of an art exhibit Yoko had back in the 60s. (all of the pieces here are white and there is no checker pattern.)

They're both New Yorkers. Honestly, I have no idea.

rza looks very contemplative for a move that early in the game

he's counting yoko's pieces

thinking baout samurais iirc

he'll catch up in the boxing round

Barry Manilow, Marilyn Manson, Lana Del Rey.

YAHTZEE

!

Her name was Lana. She was a showgirl.

Marilyn Manson looking older than Barry Manilow there

marylin manson walks in to a bar and the bartender goes "hey pal why the long face?"

In Manson's defense, Barry Manilow's face is mostly plastic.

oh mannnnn so if you read this whole thread at one stretch, schlump's post with jesus/elvis is absolutely the lolliest thing

Peter Brötzmann, Evan Parker, Anthony Braxton

Great photo, but it's not exactly unexpected for the three of them to be sharing the same physical space. Parker and Brötzmann had recorded together since 1968, and Braxton had made a record with Barry Guy's London Jazz Composers Orchestra which included Parker.

respec knucks

omg where is that barry manilow pic from

Ahh so that's where all you guys who put that on FB last night got it from.
