That awful poster with Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc

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!

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!

This is hilarious to 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

how the hell have i gone my entire adult life thinking "I Dig Rock 'n' Roll Music" was the work of Sonny and Cher?

You know guys, the idea of Aretha Franklin and John McCain hanging out together in the Freshman section of heaven, kinda makes me smile.

Unless the Viet Cong provided transistor radios to its prisoners, that conversation's going to be awkward.

"David Bowie taking a selfie up in heaven. What a fabulous picture 💖"

This is a great new twist!

Love the attention to detail!!

No Prince, no credibility.

objected to the "all white clothes" policy in Heaven

Obviously not true

I count at least 2.5 homos in that poster

Speaking of awful posters

wtf since when is janet jackson dead

if Freddy Mercury chokes you to death in heaven, where do you do next

there are exceptions but generally it works the same as mortal kombat 2

Freddy is trying to dislodge the blockage and send Jimi back to us. Whatta guy.

that is some cursed shit

Who are the two non-Elvis guys?

The three men depict Marlon Brando from The Wild One, a portrayal of Jesus in academic dress, and Cesar Romero as The Cisco Kid.[5]

diploma jesus looks an awful lot like ram dass !

LOL @ myself for confusing Elvis w/Brando (he looks like Elvis, though!)

Especially with the burger and fries in front of him.

Not Kid Creole either, then?

Aside from the Wild One outfit, that "Brando" looks more like Elvis than Marlon, totally agree. WTF at Aryan Jesus though.
