i image-googled "dean marilyn elvis" and found a bunch, lord knows what you're searching for ("rock and roll heaven"?)

I kinda like the one of Sid flippin' off Kurt, but I have no idea why Hendrix is there (other than that maybe it's because he's from Seattle).

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 20:33 (nineteen years ago) link

Is Sid from there, too?

Well, Kurt didn't.

Cobain famously overdosed on BULLETS TO THE HEAD.

Hahahahaha

It will make you forget that BULLETS KILL IN YR BRANE.

What, did you learn to spell from Sonic Youth album covers?

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 20:42 (nineteen years ago) link

I only own two.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 20:43 (nineteen years ago) link

That's about one too many.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 20:44 (nineteen years ago) link

I only ever listened to one.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 20:45 (nineteen years ago) link

Seriously, Daydream nation never even got opened.

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 20:45 (nineteen years ago) link

Let's not kill this great thread with a discussion about Sonic Youth, ok?

Exactly what is that baby/cherub doing?

Blowing him, of course.

the restaurant where i work is decorated with large portraits of dead rock stars.

I'm paraphrasing here, from an old Lemmings routine.

[V.O.] (John Belushi):
"On lead guitar, Jimi Hendrix! On second guitar, Duane Allman. On vocals, Jim Morrison and Janis Joplin! On bass, Paul McCartney. On keyboards, Brian Jones! LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE ALL-STAR DEAD BAND!!!"

i can't laugh too hard at this stuff, it really hurts me in my heart. i haven't developed a sensibility that can happily digest this kind of kitsch.

well, here's an odd pantheon

Here you go:

fuck, I'm not a newbie and I focked that oop.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 1 July 2004 19:16 (nineteen years ago) link

It apparently doesn't want to be displayed.

"Rest In Peace"

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 20:38 (nineteen years ago) link

Funny that dead rock & rap stars are sentimentalized this way more than country stars. A search for "hillbilly heaven" images turns up nothing but Tex Ritter records & vacation homes in the Ozarks. Kurt & Jimi, Pac & Biggie must be having more fun up there than Hank & Patsy.

― briania (briania), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 21:13 (nineteen years ago) link

Yay, revival.
Who's the guy in the upper left corner of that last one?!

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 22:14 (nineteen years ago) link

looks like Marvin.

― Stormy Davis (diamond), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 22:15 (nineteen years ago) link

is there and ODB R.I.P. artwork out there yet? Missy Elliott's probably going to get an ODB mural airbrushed on her face for her next video

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 22:16 (nineteen years ago) link

I think it's Liberace, not Marvin.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 22:23 (nineteen years ago) link

Why is Marvin Gaye depicted as so much smaller than marginal talents like Left Eye and Big Pun???

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 22:30 (nineteen years ago) link

That's not Big Pun, that's Biggie!

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 22:33 (nineteen years ago) link

Big Pun is far right, I believe. In this configuration I believe Marvin (and Marley) are sort of "historical background."
