The guy in the photo was raised by black sharecroppers, a target of an assassination, a multimillionaire inventor/carnival worker, and lost it all only to finally find his rhythm after being homeless and destitute.

You’d be gray haired too.

He started graying mid '70s 🤷

The Jerk is one of my favourite movies, but it’s surprisingly rare for me to find someone else who knows it exists.
Show threadTransplantedSconieSep 28, 2023

My greatest comedies of all time:

  • Airplane

  • Naked Gun

  • Blazing Saddles

  • The Jerk

    • Any of those 4, and you will cry laughing.

    Christian Science is a fucker always.

    Although it’s made tremendous contributions to the arts by killing musicians’ moms.

    Show threadZC3rr0rSep 28, 2023
    Other than James Hetfield noone springs to mind in the category “Musicians’ moms killed by Christian science”. Who else were you referring to?

    They got three songs out of Maynard James Keenan alone.

    Thanks. I did not know that, but after reading into it 10000 days now feels a lot more personal.

    It also lends gravitas to the otherwise ooh-so-edgy “Judith” by A Perfect Circle.

    I need to re-read the lyrics to that song, it’s one of my favorites by APC.

    As someone who also loves that one and considered Airplane the best comedy, I concur. I’ll also add both Top Shots movies to that.
    Show threadMamboGatorSep 28, 2023

    The only one of those I still haven’t seen is Blazing Saddles and I really need to rectify that.

    Not only that, but a male star with an age appropriate love interest, that’s getting more rare now.

    That was also pretty rare back then. Older male with younger female partner has always been the norm in movies and TV.
