    Michael I LOVE WIDE S-T-E-R-E-O!

    I'm sure those albums from the 60's were considered novelties...

    All I can say is thank God I've never attended a Beach Boys concert where Uncle Jesse decided to grace us with his presence. I really think I'd vomit if I had to watch him hot-dogging around the stage for 2 hours. I didn't pay to see him.

    In many interviews, David Bowie said that he felt that he was more of an actor than a pop star/rock star - adopting different roles, personas.
    Didn't he nickname himself "The actor"?

    If you gotta ask....
    Rock-n-Roll, man. Electric six string and bass guitars. Drums. Maybe a keyboard but no fancy Yamaha DX-7s. Cowbell, harmonica and tambourines are fine. No fancy-pants hoity- toity stuff like cellos, glockenspiels, ukeleles or kalimbas. Rock-n-Roll, maaan!

    It really is a good album. I also like "Vanilla" and "Talk Memphis To Me". Really consider all her music Jazz though.

    Goldblum is one of the headliners for a jazz fest here this summer. I don't know enough to know whether it says more about him or our jazz fest.

    Steve Martin appeared a couple years ago (not jazz).

    BTW – David Hasselhoff IS a rock star (in Germany)

    Yeah, he did use that pretentious self-awarded nickname on "Hunky Dory", but whatever Bowie may've felt about himself, he was still a musician first.

    So he's not a fit for the thread...

    William Shater may get a laugh a minute, but have you heard his 2nd album "Has Been"? It's brilliant

    I know where you are going and I agree.
    For example, John Travolta ( "Let Her In") and David Soul ("Don't Give Up on Us") and Patrick Swayze ( "She's Like the Wind") were not trying to be "rock stars."They were --probably at the behest of their management and others-- attempting to cash in on their fame as actors. Besides, none of those lame songs could even be considered remotely as "rock."
    I'd even give Bruce Willis a pass. His albums were vanity projects and he was clearly having a blast. You were welcome to join in the "fun", but I don't think he took himself too seriously.

    No, this thread is about Johnny Depp and Keanu Reeves and Jared Leto and others who want you to take them seriously as "rock stars" because, like Greg Brady in the old "Johnny Bravo" episode of The Brady Bunch, they have the "look." And the "jacket" fits them.

    Or because they party like a rock star.
