I only own two.

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.

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!!!"

[STAGE: Empty, dark, silence]

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.

paul mccartney?

What a classic thread this was...

"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."

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 22:35 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, you mean on the right. Sorry.

Anyway, I like the (break dancing?) angels best.

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 22:35 (nineteen years ago) link

Left to right (it says here):

Robert De Niro, Richard Gere, Tom Cruise, Clint Eastwood, James Dean, Kevin Costner, Brad Pitt, Keanu Reeves, Mel Gibson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jean Claude Van Damme, Jack Nicholson, Sylvester Stallone (above)

Marlene is just too cool.

"World history" is rockist.

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 23:01 (nineteen years ago) link

How can you say that? It's got C-3PO!

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 23:11 (nineteen years ago) link

Why's Eazy E look like a Smurf!?

Also, who are the two between eazy and pun?

― JaXoN (JasonD), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 23:27 (nineteen years ago) link

oh, the guy must be Big L

― JaXoN (JasonD), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 23:28 (nineteen years ago) link

Shit - I wish I had a digital camera. There's a great collage-of-the-dead-country-music-stars painting at the dive bar across the street from my old house.

― darin (darin), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 23:57 (nineteen years ago) link

Why's Eazy E look like a Smurf!?

Because he was a Smurf. Gangsta Smurf.

Also, who are the two between eazy and pun?

Selana?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 2 December 2004 00:17 (nineteen years ago) link
