The Boy Is The Father Of The Man
Ya know, these recent pictures of Bob Geldof from all this Live 8 stuff have been driving me nuts because they reminded me of someone I'd seen before.
Suddenly, it occurred to me just where:
Rock me, Amadeus!
If anyone ever decides to do a movie on what Mozart would have been like in middle age, I think Sir Bob is their man.
UPDATE: And we also know what he'll look like when he's been dead for 1000 years:
Actaully, I think he looks more like the movie Denethor's brother or something.

Posted by: The Colossus at June 3, 2005 03:41 PMOh, what a great idea for a new LOTR spin-off! Weaver plays Denathor's crazed sister who runs off to Fangorn Forest! We could call it "Balrogs In The Mist"!
Posted by: Robert the LB at June 3, 2005 03:52 PMThat's an uncanny likeness, except, y'know, for the "Mozart had more talent in his fingernail clippings than Geldoff has in his entire freaking body" part.

Posted by: Brian B at June 3, 2005 04:04 PMAll of you are wrong: the correct answer is Emil Minty, who played "the feral child" in "The Road Warrior". Back when he was flinging around a stainless steel boomerang, who among us knew he'd grow up to be a Boomtown Rat and a Knight of the British Empire?
