from http://dangerousminds.net/comments/the_cake_a_real_life_beyond_the_valley_of_the_dolls

Dressed in tailored velvet trouser suits trimmed with lace, the girls emerged to the opening strains of You Can Have Him from within a giant Dali-esque revolving birthday cake, formed from melted struts and decorated with flaming green candles. While Barbara and Eleanor skated, dipped and weaved to the rhythm, Jeanette stood stock still to their left, looking detached and aloof, holding her microphone down by her waist. When she did finally raise it to her mouth, she purposefully lip-synched the words rather than sing them.

Everyone assumed it was just part of their shtick. ‘Yeah, that was her gimmick,’ agrees Rodney Bingenheimer. Barbara recalls Greene and Stone also saying, ‘Yeah, it’s different. Keep it!’

But Chelsea thinks there was another reason. ‘Everybody said, “Why does she just stand there?’ Most of the time Greene and Stone would have her mic turned off because she couldn’t sing R&B. She felt left out. I didn’t notice that was happening because I was overpowered by Charlie Greene.’

I love this one, it's also sort of sad: It was taken somewhere in between 1967 and 1968 before Syd went full crazy and Gilmour became a permanent member of Pink Floyd. You can almost see Syd slowly drifting away into space.

Also extra points for Waters not playing along but in a completely different stance and looking in the opposite way. Future vs past I guess.

I see two alternative options:

* The guy on the lower right refused to wear a white shirt.
* The guy on the upper right didn't want to dye his hair black.

what is stevie refusing to do? was she perhaps confused about the photographer's "everybody with a hat, on my right" instruction?

she's not looking at the camera. which is a sign of being dead in some Eastern cultures.

A minute later, Corgan, still probing, finally finds the key to Thayil's heart: "I hate how in magazine pictures, they always stick me somewhere in the back."

Thayil explodes: "What do you mean? You write all the songs, and you do all the interviews. You play the instruments on the album. You control the band to the extent that most people think of Smashing Pumpkins as the Billy Corgan Experience, and all you care about is some photograph?"

"But I hate it," Corgan says, "it means they don't think I'm the cute one."

I'm sure Jeff makes a good living, clearly likes being in the Pumpkins, but good lord, the man must have no spine, but that's probably why he was hired and why he's stayed: he knows he's not the cute one, or not supposed to be.

I didn't get a picture, but last night I went to a show with Blaudzun (Dutch singer/songwriter) accompanied by a 20-piece string ensemble. Everyone on stage was dressed in all-black, except for the first violinist who was wearing bright red pants.

Could this be an indicator of the difference in the relative standing of the Queen and the Beatles between the UK and North America? I confess to having absolutely no idea what colour John Lennon's jacket was on the cover of Sgt Pepper.

Buckfast At Tiffany's (Tom D.), Friday, 19 August 2022 12:06 (one year ago) link

It's actually green, but appears yellowish on the front cover. In the gatefold, the background is yellow and his jacket definitely appears green.
