He he. Had a stressful day at work, really enjoyed that one! *rotfl*

Wow.

What really got me was suddenly seeing that the backup vocals weren't being sung by women. :)

John Belushi would do a spot on impression of Joe Cocker. Here's a video of him doing that same song: http://www.evtv1.com/player.aspx?itemnum=4934

When Joe Cocker was the musical guest on SNL, Belushi came out in the middle of the song in the same outfit and joined in as Cocker: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3587955561453246615

Classic moment in SNL history.

I absolutely cannot hear "Friends" without thinking of "The Lathe of Heaven."

This thread is almost as disturbing as that movie was!

So... what is with the movements? Did he have a mild case of Cerebral Palsy? I had a classmate with CP back in Elem. school that moved like that all the time.

I was wondering that too... I noticed he was twitching a lot when he was in Across the Universe, and he twitched a helluva lot more in those older vids. Part of me says it's the drugs, another thinks it's the music got a hold of him, man... ::zeearteest::
