@Gil Bang is right.  It’s not just Prince.   Plenty of folks are like this. Some more than others.  Music and Hollywood stars seem to take it to another level.   Maybe it’s about their “image.”    Who knows?

Man I used to avoid the Music threads, and for a long time too.

Not sure why. I guess because it is all a matter of taste...maybe.

But I must say this Cool Photos thread might be the best thread on Surly in history.

Great job.

Username finally checks out?

I don't think Tyler gets enough credit as a frontman.  He's one  of the greats IMO

What is the name of the one second from the right?  Reminds me of my wife when we first met.  I'll be in my bunk.

Funny thing is that The Beatles could have also been the greatest country band history.

Paul and Ringo earlier today, March 4, 2024.

Taken in Paris for Stella McCartney's fashion show.  Nice of Ringo and Barbara to make the trip.

Man that is awesome.

[Underdog 28627]

Every time I see your face
It reminds me of the places we used to go
All I've got is a photograph
And I realize you're not coming back anymore

[jimmyjazz 45925]

Wait, what?  If true, that's beyond cool, and loops in with Kris Kristofferson's service and obsession with Johnny Cash.

[Steamboat1874 4058]

As far as I am concerned this is the greatest country artist of all time......

Had no idea about Jackie Fox. Just read her wiki page and what a wild life -- in the Runaways, contestant on Jeopardy, the Dating Game, and Millionaire, and got her JD at Harvard in the same class as Barack Obama.

Jerry Reed is a legend. Certified badass fingerpicker on the guitar, multiple gold records, songwriter for Elvis and so many others. Also guest appearances on Mama's Family and Scooby-Doo to round out the resume.

Absolute genius of a guitar player.  Of course, I would be remiss if I didn't also note his portrayal of the Snowman.

First concert I ever saw.  I was probably 4 or 5 years old.  It was at an outdoor bluegrass festival in Eminence, MO.  Even at my young age it was clear he was a badass.
