Forces have been looting
My humanity
Curfews have been curbing
The end of liberty
We're the flowers in the dustbin...
No fuchsias for you.

Sorry, it's El Guapo from Three Amigos. The "It's a sweater!" scene. Just thought GH looked like El Guapo in the Cloud Nine photo.

I know I've seen it, but I honestly remember nothing about that film. Same time period, tho, no?

It's neat how Bob and George embraced the same hairstyle. Let's call it the Wilbury. But that sleeve is seriously ugly. It's like a mid-80s archetype for album covers.

Ha, was just looking for a Springsteen image to post, but in my brief search couldn't find one with fluffy enough hair. Well done.
