Cocteau twin

Was trying to get a handle on who Tim "$$$" Geithner looked like, or who his shifty-eyed mug reminded me of, particularly his odd brush cut:





(he is saying here: "Free cats will claw their way to the heart of recovery...")

Then I realized it was Jean Cocteau!:







So, um, yeah. I will refrain from an "I've seen it eight times!" "Just Before the War With the Eskimoes" reference. Oops!

Also, Gerry Rafferty of "Baker Street" fame was feared missing or something, according to hyperventilating NME posts...like, how would one know? Anyway, turns out he's fine in Tuscany. We should ALL be so fine.

But I'm not sure I buy it...I think he's actually pulled a Ripley and killed James Lipton and taken his place:



If an episode of Inside the Actor's Studio comes on and "Lipton" asks, say, Aaron Eckhart things like "But would not have In the Company of Men have been better with the Foo Fighters' version of 'Baker Street' on the soundtrack?," you'll know what's up.
