That awful poster with Lennon, Elvis, Hendrix etc

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

You know which one. This embarrassment is called something along the lines of "Legends Lounge" and depicts a kind of rock'n'roll heaven jam session wherein Elvis sings; Lennon plays (presumably) rhythm on a Rickenbacker; Buddy Holly strums an acoustic; and Hendrix obliviously tortures a Strat stage right. Jim Morrison just stands off to the side looking lost; I'm assuming he's on backup vocals. There is no bass player. Keith Moon is on drums, I believe.

Anyway, it had just occured to me that the music made by this particular assemblage of personalities would be unbearably awful. Anyone care to comment?

Are you fucking kidding? What on earth would be awful about: Lennon + Elvis?? Lennon + Holly?? Hendrix + Morrison (already proven great!)?? Hendrix + Lennon (already proven great!)?? Holly + Hendrix (two greatest Strat guys)?? Keith Moon + ANY of these party animals???

This aggregation would greatness upon greatness upon greatness, and I'd like to see anybody paint a black velvet image that proves otherwise.

Yeah, I see people wearing those shirts all the time, and it seems to represent EXACTLY the type of person who would wear one. And as a sartorial choice, a silkscreened wolf on a black T-shirt doesn't seem all that "crazy."

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.

Soon after World War II ended some Whittier Republicans approached Nixon about running for a seat in the United States House of Representatives.[23] Nixon accepted, and defeated five term Democratic incumbent Jerry Voorhis in the November 1946 election to represent southern California's 12th Congressional district.[23] He helped finance the campaign with his World War II poker winnings.[24]

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]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IEemZ6-LZc

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!

This week I learned mom knows who Brian Jones is. Sort of.

― The 25 Best Songs Ever Ranked In Order (Deflatormouse), Saturday, 28 August 2021 07:09 (four years ago)

She phoned a couple of days ago and mentioned that the drummer for the Rolling Stones died "again".

― The 25 Best Songs Ever Ranked In Order (Deflatormouse), Saturday, 28 August 2021 07:11 (four years ago)

I said, no, this is the first time a drummer for the Rolling Stones has died, are you maybe thinking of the drummer for the Who?

And she said no, his name was Barry, who is Barry?

― The 25 Best Songs Ever Ranked In Order (Deflatormouse), Saturday, 28 August 2021 07:13 (four years ago)

"You mean the guy from the Bee Gees?"

"No, the Rolling Stones."

Eventually we figured out that she was thinking of Brian Jones, but she thought he was the drummer and that his name was Barry.

"You don't know who Brian Jones is."

"Yes, I remember he wore yellow corduroy pants. Mustard yellow."

"OMG, you know who Brian Jones is."

― The 25 Best Songs Ever Ranked In Order (Deflatormouse), Saturday, 28 August 2021 07:17 (four years ago)

Barry was the 7th Rolling Stone and their second drummer. Andrew Loog Oldham insisted he be removed from all publicity photos because he didn’t look as good as Brian Jones in yellow corduroys. He played behind a curtain at all gigs until his death in 2002.

For the first I think I put in “a cheesy poster of Janis Joplin jamming with other dead rock stars in a bar” or something. I originally had Hendrix and Cobain in the prompt too but it rejected that on the “no famous people” rule (sorry, Janis).

(amongst everything else happening there)

also this-

what's with her ear?

i noticed it too, but the more i examined, the more it became clear: the ear is fine, it's the hair around the ear that's totally off. am also wondering about intentionally(?) not including biden's face lol.

He's left his stuff while he ascends but crucially is also wearing it,a strange way to square the "do your clothes come with you when you're raptured?" debate.

Just getting you all prepared for the inevitable:

In a powerful celebration of culture and history, the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) and the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) proudly announce that the new iconic Interstate 55 (I-55) bridge spanning the Mississippi River between West Memphis, Arkansas, and Memphis, Tennessee, will now be known as Kings’ Crossing.
This new name, officially adopted by the Arkansas Highway Commission and the Tennessee General Assembly, honors three transformative figures known as “Kings”: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; B.B. King; and Elvis Presley.

The Freddie Mercury depiction reminds me of when you see those clickbait articles about some guy in a small town in the UK who 'looks just like Freddie Mercury', but then you open up the article and you don't see much resemblance.
