Following up from the Peppermint Rainbow's "Will You Be Staying After Sunday" in a separate thread, here's their follow-up, which suggests the answer to the aforementioned was a decisive "no," "Don't Wake Me Up in the Morning, Michael," which is damn near my total visual aesthetic in one puffball.

Wow, I actually remember that one; it got some NYC airplay despite its failure to hit the Top 40. They were from Baltimore, apparently,

Great, funny clip, but I've heard that "Gladys" is actually a comedian and radio personality from Austin. Too bad, but she's funny as hell in any case.
Let's get right to it.

I wish I could say this is a joke, but apparently he's dead serious: Joaquin Phoenix... rapper.

http://dailyblabber.ivillage.com/entertainment/archives/2009/01/joaquin-phoenix-raps-up-his-ca.html

I predict he's back on a movie set inside of a year, tops. That was just pathetic.

Walk The Line 2: Cash's Revenge! -- this time it's personal!

That was painful.

There is now some question of how "real" Phoenix's commitment to being a rapper is. Apparently he's "secretly" working on some sort of mockumentary (Spinal Tap-meets-Borat was one description) that is becoming less secret as time goes on. His appearance on Letterman last nite has a lot of people saying "poor guy, he needs help" but it looks to me like Dave was in on the joke:

I'm confused.  Is he having his Andy Kaufman/Tony Clifton moment?

that exact analogy has been drawn on more than one message board.

Found this rather nice video tribute about Dave's retirement that the Contra Costa Times put together--I don't recall it having been posted here before (apologies if I missed it--wouldn't be the first time!).

Lovely.  the Tom Petty-lookalike thing in his early pics hadn't occurred to me, but damn!

And I'm investigating that "9@9 at KGSR in Austin" mentioned in the comments.

Chris Rea was mentioned in the latest "Hz So Good" newsletter with this failed "Fool" follow-up, "Diamonds."  See him get molested by cheeky flight attendants!
