Jet Bin Fever Poor Robert Smith didn't age well at all.
StanleyPain That's not even recent footage of him, either.
Oktay If I'm not mistaken, that footage is more than a decade old. But I've been mistaken before, so there is a slight chance I'm mistaken right now.
This was awesome btw.
Oktay Also, I posted before I saw StanleyPain's comment. So there.
Jet Bin Fever So for a story, I went to see the Cure almost 10 years ago when they toured through this area with Interpol and Muse. Some time before the show, my cousin and I were walking around behind the staging area looking for a restroom and he said to me "Wow, look at all these stupid fat Robert Smith look-a-likes... like that guy there!" and he pointed to a chubby guy with black dyed hair, wearing a baseball cap and clownish makeup who was speeding by on a golf cart. As he passed we noticed that it was actually, honest-to-god, Robert Smith.
Unrelated story-- when I was around 12, I went to see Tower of Power play at an outdoor theatre, a show that featured BB King. I wasn't really into BB King and I had never seen him before. My friends and I snuck back stage and hung out with a couple guys from ToP. They eventually left (I'm guessing to get high). After that, we looked around for BB King-- he would have basically been the biggest celebrity I had seen in person at that point in my life other than Bam Bam Bigelow. We looked into a window and saw an old black guy in a suit eating a pie. We just stared at him in awe, "Holy crap-- BB King...eating a pie. This is awesome." We watched every mundane thing he did for about 5 minutes until security told us to go back to our seats. Eventually, the real BB King played that evening... we never figured out who the guy was eating that pie.
I once saw Monica Lewinsky selling her line of ugly purses, being guarded by a guy who looked like he'd been knifed in the face once, like a while back. My first impression (and words out loud, since she wasn't in earshot) was "Damn, she's put on some real weight." After that, I went and tapped on the glass of an aquarium filled with bees that was a display for people selling honey.
Jet Bin Fever Wow, so that makes you one separation away from Bill Clinton's penis.
