That awful poster with Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc

tbh i would not be surprised to learn that there is an actual willie nelson track circa 1987 that more or less sounds like what we're getting here

Definitely Bowie on the right with the chompers

sax player is probably grover washington jr?

drummer probably carmine appice

maybe, who knows? magnavox!

Conductor is Steve Shelley

that grid floor is killing me

I really hope the title of that image is "Supergroup"

Rock 'n' roll heaven is perfect sound, forever.

the conductor is Harry Potter, right?

It almost doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility that Willie Nelson would have a collaboration from 1987 with David Bowie and Grover Washington Jr. featuring Carmine Appice on drums and the Boston Pops. Perfect sound forever indeed.

Well fuck, that's eerie.

Anyway

If somebody can get David Hockney to pose in front of that I'd be eternally grateful.

Who's they guy on 2Pac's left side, and the woman on his right? Is the woman with MJ supposed to be Whitney Houston? And who's the bare-footed dude next to Bob Marley?

elvis, janis joplin, beyonce (RIP), err carlos santana? (also RIP)

woman on the floor looks more like joni Mitchell than Janis to me, although not exactly like either of them?

woman on couch = Aaliyah?

amy winehouse.

Barefooted dude could be a bad George Harrison?

The On Cinema Oscar Special 4 did a live action recreation of one these things:

I think that's kind of great actually. I'd say couch man is George Harrison. Is that Whitney hugging MJ?

Tupac looks happy.

That's some next-level shit.

i always think this thread is about some hella basic ilm poster

:-/

Hearing in my head Kim Gordon saying in that one Sonic Youth song, "Goodbye Lennon, Elvis and Hendrix."

hendrix would've been a cool ilx poster

lennon not so much, maybe

xp that exact song came up on Spotify discover weekly just thus evening. I hadn't heard it in years.

2016

Someone has to paint that on the side of a building somewhere.

there's a lot to unpack there huh

2016 def the first year where memes have played a role in political campaigns

All those Obama-is-really-Kenyan-here's-the-proof pics that made the rounds in 2008 weren't memes?

Needs Boris Johnson.

they're memes in the sense they're images overlaid with text which are shared online but i guess i think of 4chan-derived memes as a different animal altogether - images which involve weird, sometimes wilfully offensive humour which mutate as they're passed around and often end up with an entirely different meaning over time

also the kenyan-birth memes don't involve a fictional character in the same way that, say, pepe the frog or harambe memes do

Harambe was real to me ;_;

harambe is realer now as a meme than he ever was as a gorilla

Not sure if this has been discussed before...
Have we touched on this hot little number? The song was first recorded by the band Climax in 1973,[1] but it failed to chart. It was then covered by The Righteous Brothers in 1974 and reached number three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.[2][3]

Jimi gave us rainbows
And Janis took a piece of our hearts
And Otis brought us all to the dock of the bay
Sing a song to - light my fire
Remember Jim that way,
They've all found another place,
another place to play

If you believe in forever,
Then life is just a one-night stand.
If there's a rock and roll heaven,
Well you know they've got a hell of a band,
Band,
Band!
