Lionel Flippin' Richie

Check the new Lionel Richie single, "Just For You" - Rhythm section eerily similar to Crystal if I'm not mistaken, even down to the break near the end! Aaargh!

Of course they were just kidding,Ricardo!

He really should be fucking ashamed of himself. Was True Faith really the limit of his ambitions ?

Tongue almost tearing through cheek flesh I think you'll find.

Remember the Rage telecast from the time quite clearly.

You may recall the 'Hello' video as being unintentionally hilarious, melodramatic, 80's fare... Terrible hair, knitted sweaters, a blind sculpter, Lionel's massive mustached noggin, some terribly wooden acting, etc. Oh the pathos.

I dont think they were-they said the same thing on a CH4 show too! i think they picked Iggy Pop`s The Passenger too.

yer i dont think they are kidding either. they also aooeared on another program ,vh1 i think and the show was a number ones thing if memory serves. and who should pop up but barns n hook waffling on about this vid,barney said and i quote "i always wondered what happened to that clay head" the one she sculpted. lionel then pops up to explain that when the shoot had finished he found the head face down in a puddle outside and was a bit indignant about it.(tosser)

The caption cuts off the final word, "DIVISION".

now that's the (unholy) spirit :)

Apropos, given what the Pope likely thinks about all of Barney's religious lyrics, or about Ian Curtis' early attempt to meet his Maker.

True, that. I saw the little subtitle and immediately thought "Joy...DIVISION." Seems I can't see either word anymore without making that connection.

Yuk.... less said the better - can't bear the creepy 'Hello' thing -always reminds me of pervy male teachers at my all-girls' schools

It was also incumbent on me to do a little DIGITAL manipulation and show His Holiness flipping the bird. Just seemed like the right thing to do, at least that's what Satan told me.

Image appropriated, sir!

Richie talked about the video on VH1's "I love the eighties," saying if I remember right that when he saw the clay head he was absolutely horrified, and just wanted to get the nightmare over with. Richie certainly belongs in the Pantheon w/Hall and Oates w/worst video artists ever. They definitely did not choose very talented directors, then again the early eighties featured in equal doses a greater supply of the worst and the very best videos ever done.
