Goldsbie says that the guy on the right is actually Doug Jones.

Also. Ford pal Jenny James posing with Ford pal Superintendent Ron Taverner (here played by Doug Jones): http://on.fb.me/1teBiuu

It is Taverner. Goldsbie is joking.

UT is so educational! I didn't know who Doug Jones (contortionist?) until just now.
edit: He looks so different in the JJ pic. He has a lot more white hair in that one, than the other 2 posted pics of Taverner.

Yep (Beach Easter Parade, last year). Same technique as with candy canes.

Like he's feeding pigeons. ( I believe Jimmy K. mentioned that. )

So Fatty didn't disgrace himself at the funeral yesterday? And you know something? It's remarkable that I can ask that question, and not be joking.

Yeah, you can tell he exhibits asshole behaviour (hate the symptoms, not the addict, hate the symptoms, not the addict) by doing something simple like that.
The eggs would get all smushed, the candy canes broken.
Treating the kids like pigeons... or dogs.

I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. What a horrible song.

It's all the feudal references that annoy me.

ETA Warning - do not eat anything while watching and if you have to pee, you might wanna do that beforehand...

In another lifetime during the mid-90s, I worked in live audio and as a road manager. I did the live sound at a couple of bars in Orangeville who almost always hired cover bands. Original music was rarely heard there, unless it was one of these cover bands performing a track of their own (many cover bands are original acts that cover to pay the bills). The odd time a cover band's original act was decent. However, most of the original music sounded like this. It was all terrible, lifeless, flat and lacking in anything unique. Jenny James' stuff pretty much matches up with the worst of the worst.

The live music biz is full of a *lot* of garbage. The hollywood created misconception that there are many brilliant acts just waiting to be discovered is almost entirely false. For every good band, there are 100 bands whose talent level ranks somewhere between "mediocre" to "completely unlistenable".

If he's the viceroy, who's the roi - Doug or Diane?

I don't know, is it more dismissive, or just apathetic?

Apparently there was a tweet sent out from his account whilst he was at the funeral that got some people hot under the collar
