Lunchtime Look-a-Like

 Happy Tuesday! Today, with "Lunchtime Look-a-like" I'd like to focus on the similarities that can be found between the two insane guys pictured below. Two of the best the Caucasian race has to offer; Don Imus and Phil Spector. Some of you might think that the crazy hair and ghostly, sallow complexions of these two might be where the resemblance ends, but I beg to differ-the similarities are more than skin deep. Consider the most obvious facts, listed below:

1. Both men rose to fame via the radio, Don as a radio host and Phil as a record producer & song writer.

2. Both have had multiple failed marriages---although, looking at them, I can't possibly imagine why....

3. Both men have had troubled pasts personally and legally: Imus has struggled with alcoholism & cocaine addiction along with a number of incidents involving accusations of defamatory speech. The most well known instance, of course, involved the highly publicized comments about the Rutgers University Women's Basketball team that resulted in his temporary suspension (and possibly a permanent blacklisting (no pun intended) by many in the media). Phil Spector, on the other hand, has declared himself 'bipolar' while telling Britain's Daily Telegraphthat he considered himself "relatively insane". Back in the 70's he was involved in a near fatal car accident. In May of 2009, he was sentenced to 19 years to life in the California State Prison System following a guilty verdict in the second trial related to his involvement in the 2003 shooting death of actress Lana Clarkson.

While I could go on, I'm sure the pictures are the real focal point here. The bottom line is this: Phil and Don probably should have teamed up for their own radio show prior to Spector's incarceration ....Sadly, it's too late now.
