I posted this in the "Rare photo's of famous people" thread earlier in the year for the Debbie Harry lovers : Topless photo of Debbie Harry before she dyed her hair blond (Obv NSFW)

Wow. That Debbie Harry pic reminds me of a conversation between two somewhat famous people, from the worlds of music and baseball...

It's sad that when this was taken (I'm guessing early 80's) these guys were all seen as equals. Clearly one hasn't lived up to potential.

Who's the dude on the right? ARGH.

BTW Anyone surprised with just how many people Salvador Dali is photographed with? Consistently blows me away.

Oh, and the picture with the black dude sitting down and the bearded white guy standing is "Old Spice Guy (Isaiah Mustafa) and The Most Interesting Man in the World (Jonathan Goldsmith)". You're welcome

 

[perfectnight]

^ Peter Jackson

 

[Shaneus]

Wow, shit. Seems that every time a photo is taken of him, he loses a few kilos.

 

[Gazunta]

I know that maybe most of you don´t know them, but at least some intellectual gaffer should know who at least 1 of this is:

I am aware of the works of Pablo Neruda.

I hace to say, sorry for saying it, but it troubles my mind that some gaffers don't know general culture, wow.

 

[SolKane]

Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali

 

[Battersea Power Station]

Any idea where this is? I feel like the glasses, the table, and the bench all look really familiar.

 

[Corto]

where's Enzo Francescoli mang

He's taking the picture mang. And Figo is out of the frame talking shit to Zidane.

 

[MetalAlien]

so much for die young, stay pretty:

You're telling me that isn't Christopher Walken in drag?

 

[Salvor.Hardin]

I hace to say, sorry for saying it, but it troubles my mind that some gaffers don't know general culture, wow.

Most of the pictures here are of American celebrities. Regardless of how popular these celebrities are, a lot of gaffers live very diverse lives in very different countries. There is no such thing as general culture and I think its arrogant to assume that some posters have to know about some of the people in these pictures.

 

[Gandie]

You're telling me that isn't Christopher Walken in drag?

Can't unsee.

Amazing thread!

 

[Dabanton]

You're telling me that isn't Christopher Walken in drag?

Seriously looks so much like Liam Neeson at times.

 

[MetalAlien]

Bono, Simon Carmody, and barely legal teens.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Pop culture knowledge is almost always culturally relative. Which is why everyone should post names.

 

[YoungHav]

post names or don't bother posting.

 

[Socreges]

What are you referencing between this post and your previous one?

Yup.

And with respect to authors in particular, why should people recognize their faces?
