Lost Eurythmics
Its time once again for this months installment of Hidden Gems From Eurythmics.
The first caused quite a stir back in the day and was even pulled off of MTV for its in your face Anti-Americanism. Guess MTV never heard of biting satire? Brilliant song and brilliant video.
This next is the video that started my obsession with Annie. I fell in love watching this video with her wearing the blond wig back in 1982 and haven't stopped since....god those eyes!!!
And finally...although this is undoubtably Eurythmics most recognizable song, this video version of it is relatively unknown in comparison to what is quaintly called the cow video...enjoy.

Album covers of the week
Ah, the fine art of the 33/rpm album cover...we miss you so!
Ummmm...I count five...unless this is one of those cults where the woman doesn't count for anything.
And My lawyer is SOOOOOO happy!
She's a Super freak, super freak....
I so need to photoshop a pistol lying on the bench next to this guy...it would make the image so much more complete. Also, is it just me or does the chick seem to be thinking..."and his dick is bigger and he makes more money"
And my personal favorite for sheer "coolness"!

Two of Annie's most hauntingly beautiful songs!
The First is from Francis Ford Coppola's Movie - Bram Stoker's Dracula.
The Second is from her debute solo album from 1992 (lordy I'm getting old) DIVA.
Watch her character expression and her eyes.....Sigh......She is almost as beautiful as my wife!

The Original Inspiration For Batman’s Joker, German Actor Conrad Veidt
While there’s an ongoing debate over who actually created the character of Batman’s iconic nemesis The Joker (comic book artist Bob Kane, writer Bill Finger and artist Jerry Robinson have all variously claimed the idea) one aspect of his origin seems to be relatively free from dispute: that the creators drew their visual inspiration from German actor Conrad Veidt’s portrayal of the character Gwynplaine in the 1928 film The Man Who Laughs. An adaptation of a Victor Hugo novel, the film was directed by German expressionist filmmaker Paul Leni, with Veidt in the title role.
A well-known film actor with a long career, Veidt also appeared as Cesare the somnambulist in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Grand Vizier Jaffar in The Thief of Bagdad, and as Major Heinrich Strasser in Casablanca. The latter role being especially notable as Veidt himself was a fervent anti-Nazi, who emigrated from Germany to England in 1933, one week after marrying Illona Prager, a Jewish woman. Veidt also played what is likely the first homosexual character written for the screen, in Richard Oswald’s pioneering gay rights film, Anders als die Andern (”Different From The Others”).
Veidt died of a heart attack in 1943 while playing golf in Los Angeles.
The Joker died of a drug overdose and won an oscar.
