Day 14- Baron Davis is a Clipper?!

First off, the Weird Al concert was INCREDIBLE. He had like 30 costume changes, performed all of his hits, made the silliest faces and was fucking weird. During one song he kept taking items of clothing (t-shirts etc) and finished with...well, I'll let you see.

FUCKING WEIRD RIGHT? I loved it. He even played songs that weren't ever released. You know the song, "I'm in Love with a Stripper?" Well he dressed up as Gilligan and sang, "I'm In Love with the Skipper." FUNNY AS SHIT RIGHT? He had clips from Gilligan's Island playing behind him.

The concert was sold out and the people there were pretty weird, but that made it all the better. Some of the other Weird Al highlights:
1- Seeing Weird Al in a Michael Jackson fat suit (circa his music video) singing "FAT."
2- Watching a Weird Al groupie and his wife (who were both groomed creepily like Weird Al himself) mouth the words to every song, every song intro, and act out this random part where Weird Al and 2 bandmates did a choreographed dance while chanting gibberish.
3- Seeing Weird Al dress up as Amish/Jedi/Billy Joe Armstrong/Kurt Cobain
4- Watching him roll in on a segue to "White and Nerdy."
5- Watching Weird Al sing THE ENTIRE 12 minute long song, "Albuquerque" for his encore.
He stopped 3/4 of the way, "lost his place" and then started over. He was kidding. It was fantastic.

All in all, as a life-long Weird Al fan (My first 2 CD's ever were Beatles' "Hard Days Night" and Weird Al's "TV Album.") this was truly a memorable night, and one of the highlights of my young adult life.

And now, the long awaited next installment of ACTORS WHO ARE THE SAME. Today, Terrence Stamp and Malcolm McDowell.








Terrence Stamp was born in England, and since playing the menacingly evil General Zod in Superman II, has continued to play old, sinister yet brilliant villains or at least intimidating old man. While he worked in the 60s, in the late 90s and 2000s he began to have a career resurgence playing the part of the creepy villain/wise trainer. In Star Wars Episode I--Supreme Chancellor Valorum. In "My Boss's Daughter"-Tara Reid's menacing father. In Disney's "Haunted Mansion"-the eccentric Ramsley. On Tv Sci-Fi, "Smallville" he is the voice of Clark's kryptonian father who guides him, Jor-El. In Elektra--he is the wise trainer. This summer you can see him as a creepster in "Wanted" (a kick ass movie if I ever saw one) and a villain in "Get Smart."

Malcolm McDowell was also born in England and plays creepy, sadistic and brilliant villains. Beginning with "A Clockwork Orange," Malcolm McDowell has had a steady career playing evil. He didnt do much notable work (a lot of voice over stuff--even doing a voice in SUPERMAN: The Animated Series. I guess old evil British guys can always get work in some reincarnation for Superman) until a career resurgence in the late 90s, early 2000s. "Just Visiting" was Terrence Stamp's "My Boss's Daughter." He mostly works television and voice overs now, but he plays villains on the HBO's (woo woo) "Entourage" and the sci-fi show, "Heroes."

These two actors also have an uncanny resemblance. There you have it folks. Two actors who can basically do the same parts and might as well be interchangeable. Both great. Both villains. Both the same.

Until tomorrow-
