Rock Stars: Then and Now
« on: June 16, 2011, 10:09:47 PM »
I found this slideshow at Instapundit.  It moves pretty fast so you might want to hit the pause button to read the captions.

Most of the photos show the ravages of time.  Don't laugh, because you probably look the same in "then and now" photos.

A small handful look exactly the same.  And a couple of them actually look better now.  I'm thinking Joan Jett.

Although I'm not a big Stones fan, this song naturally popped into my head while I was looking at that.

Jeepers.

Ya notice how in a really high percentage of these photos, the person's nose becomes bulbous or elongated at the tip, and more downturned at the end?

Nothing grows where you need it.  Also, not shown is that thatch sprouting from the ears and nose.

Funny. I never learned to play a guitar and was never in a band, but I still look like death warmed over. ::thinking::

Good show! There were a few I hadn't heard of. Some look really good, some look awful.

Kim Carnes - Bette Davis Eyes
We always mocked that song as "She's got . . .  Sammy Davis Eye."

Something a little long in the tooth (1972), but still quite enjoyable and holds up well.  An underrated band.

poco-good feelin to know

Another favorite of mine of Poco's, from 1973.

Crazy Eyes - Poco

Another underrated singer/songwriter, Dave Mason, from 1973.

And probably my all-time favorite Dave Mason song, Show Me Some Affection, from 1976.

DAVE MASON - SHOW ME SOME AFFECTION

Oh, and to add a Dave Mason version of a Bob Dylan original.  Dave played accoustic guitar on Jimi's version in 1968 (he was a friend of Jimi's); this is Dave's 1974 version.  But this is great in its own right.  Dave makes it his own, which is the sign of a good musician.
