Let's Lock The Door - And throw away the key

I saw this on Farcebook. It's your typical pathetic "Look at me with celebrities" snapshot.

But can you tell which are the celebrities and which are the civilians?

Is this a flattering picture of ANYONE? What's with the ol' ladies and the "children of the damned" staring "glassy eyes from hell"? They couldn't ask some teenager to Photoshop the eyes so they look normal??

It was a quaint age, when groups decided "Let's all wear the same costume." Eppy even felt that The Beatles should do that, and they did for a year or two.

Blue blazers, Red White and Blue stripes, dopey medallions over white t-shirts...that identifies at least three of the four guys. I'm figuring the three gray-haired duffers are the original members, and the tall guy might be Jay #3. But don't hold me to it, and don't hold me and force me into the lobby for the "after concert merch-fest."

Sad isn't it? If you're 60 or 70, you really want to walk around in a fucking t-shirt with a photo of the band from 1964? You're going to be dead soon. You think your son or grandson is going to want the autographed photo? As for the CDs, I think the "pity me" aspect is that you might want the duffers as they sing the "hits" now, just because they look desperate to sell 'em. You already have the originals, which these guys can't sell at the shows because there's no money in it. Buy it off United Artists for $8 and sell it for $10? Nah.

ONLY IN AMERICA...is there any kind of market for this. For which, on behalf of the survivors, I say "thanks a lot." Seriously, without ridiculous small towns and venues that involve bars, high school auditoriums or outdoor parks, these guys would be selling cars or just hanging around the house helping neighbors capture feral cats.

Jeez, do you suppose it isn't the flash, and the women really have red eyes, and are lusting and on the make? No, no, some things are too hideous to contemplate.
