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?

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

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

Tupac looks happy.

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?

chap, Thursday, 13 October 2016 10:58 (seven years ago) link

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

doo-doo diplomacy (bizarro gazzara), Thursday, 13 October 2016 11:55 (seven years ago) link

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 ;_;

Neil S, Thursday, 13 October 2016 12:01 (seven years ago) link

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!

suggest band!

Also, in 1981, when the Righteous Brothers appeared for a one song reunion on American Bandstand, they performed "Rock and Roll Heaven", and made it longer including new lyrics as tributes to Elvis Presley, John Lennon, and Keith Moon.

these pictures are best painted on a mirror and passed out as a prize for popping balloons with a dart at a county fair

I'll win that Righteous Brothers mirror
If it fucking kills me!

The Led Zeppelin managed by Pierre Menard is greater than the one managed by Peter Grant, as it must navigate an musical landscape where album sales are diminished, guitar is no longer the prestige instrument, and one of its members is dead.

Well Michael wanted to be starting something
But David wanted ch-ch-changes instead
Whitney showed us that the greatest love
Was when Prince gave us head

To me, this song (along with Peter Paul & Mary's 'I Dig Rock N' Roll Music' and Pat Boone's In a Metal Mood) has always felt a little
