Doesn't Colonel Gadaffi look like every senior citizen of rock you've ever seen?

Leonard Cohen...
how old is senior
As my 40's are rapidly slipping through my fingers , may I ask David where is the cut off ( age wise) for senior ?
Working definition
The age when you put on a pair of sunglasses and you look like Colonel Gadaffi.
I refer the honorable gentleman...
...to my (dead at birth) thread: "Is Colonel Gadaffi turning into Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler"
He looks like morphed face of Bono and Dylan!
a bit Neil Gaiman-ish
which is terribly unfair to Mr Gaiman. The picture the bbc website was using earlier was even more like him.
Lou Reed...
You never see
Tom Jones and Gaddafi in the same room.
Donald Fagen
in the first picture, surely.
Absolutely...
there is a definite likeness to the Haitian Divorce hitmaker.
Bit harsh
on Gadafi that
Peter Buck
The yoghurt chucking years surely.
Is that a euphamism for something rude?
No.. sorry.. that's coughing your yoghurt.
So what does the dairy-based comestible-flinging refer to? Was it his "air-rage" thingy?
Actually, that WOULD have made a good story if you combined those two things.. Peter Buck in court for playing the one-stringed mandolin in 1st class..
Losing His Religion
I always thought THAT sounded like a faintly obscene euphemism...
Colonel Gadaffi
Michael Jackson alive and well and living in Libya
Jackson + Lips from Anvil = Gaddafi
Do you think
he's as grumpy as Lou Reed?

If only Lester Bangs could have lived...
to have taken the michael out of Lou's recent artistic efforts. He would have had a ball.
And here's the Colonel with Randy Bachman...
...talking frankly about his funding of international soft-rockism to a minor television personality in Canada:
He used to
look a bitlike the javelin thrower Fatima Whitbread.
But havent seen her on anything recently to confirm if that is still the case
This could be debatable
Mike Patton from Faith no More?
old friends?
Gadaffi in Tripoli production of The Birdcage
And here he is again, on Hammond organ...
....with Bill Nighy and the boys in 'Still Crazy'. Freeze frame at around 28 seconds:
Don Was?
Surely?
from yet another thread
we thought he's joining the manics with his stuck on pictures of "fallen Heroes"

On The News Quiz....
...Sandi Toksvig pointed out that in this photograph, Gaddafi "looks like a cross between Michael Jackson and General Sir Michael Jackson".
Imagine...
....living in a country where you can't openly laugh at your leaders. It must be torture.
So - was Gadaffi the man
So - was Gadaffi the man really responsible for the Hammond on "Like a Rolling Stone"? The nation needs to know...
Gene Simmons
And here's a whole band of The Colonel...
...not least the bloke on guitar and the bloke on drums...
And somehow he even managed to...
...slip into Britain for an acoustic spot at a Strawbs Christmas do in a London pub last year, having played lead guitar with them in the '70s under the assumed name of 'Dave Lambert'...
I have had a look he's not on the offiical
site of "famous men who look like old lesbian" he must be in the running.

Brilliant
I was laughing even before I clicked the link.
Not sure Finn or Stoppard deserve their places, though.
fraid they do
the camera doesn't lie
