I’m right there with you. I was a HUGE Eels fans. I saw him live multiple times, including the “With Strings” tour, which was great. Blinking Lights was his last really great record. I’ll give this one a shot because John Parish is back, but I’m not getting my hopes up.

If we expand it to oldie movie stars in general, I think RDJ would be perfect for Charlie Chaplin.

So when I read the title

I was praying it was Taylor Dayne.
