"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.

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."

Oh, you mean on the right. Sorry.

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

Marlene is just too cool.

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

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?

that marvin/marley one seems like they left lots of blank space for future additions.....

One guy is conspicuous by his absence in those depictions of rock-n-roll heaven. The funny thing is, it's confirmed that he's up there:

Darinm please describe the dead country stars at that bar bear your old house. (You know Kevin Spacey is playing you? In a movie, I mean. And he's already ten years older than you were when you died. I don't want to see the movie or its poster.) The current Gretchen Wilson video has traumatized its song from mah mind. It's got gobs of black-and-white (filmwise; ethnically they're all white o course) dead people, in the audience and on stage with her. They don't sing along, just mouth admiring comments about her , and some play along (silently mebbe). Yes, they're all stars! Stars of the Grand Ol Opry! Al signifying,"Room for one more..."

briana, nobody likes a homo

actually i think he's in this one (that's upthread)

there's this insane mural at the video hut in los feliz which has all these actors sitting in a theater. and another mural that is similar on--i think--wilcox ave in hollywood.

That depiction of Dietrich, Marilyn, Madonna et al as ironworkers is beyond belief.

― M. Agony Von Bontee (M. Agony Von Bontee), Monday, 26 June 2006 20:20 (seventeen years ago) link

there should be a t-shirt of sid vicious helping kurt cobain to shoot up. while they are sitting on a cloud.

I would definitely put that on my wall!

Does anyone actually have a picture of the Legends Lounge poster that the original poster was referencing?
