[kj] (OT) Prong in T2

[Jim Harper]

Well, yes, that certainly is eclectic. I didn't know KJ (or Cabaret Voltaire, for that matter) showed up in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I'll have to check it next time. That must have been in the 5 minutes or so in the mid-80s when the Joke were approaching mainstream status, along with Weird Science.
 
I can kind of see Prong and Public Enemy, but G'n'R just seems... out of place.

My favourite is the posters in the record store in The Hidden. Aside from many others, some of the more obvious ones are the Sisters of Mercy, the Mission, Eurythmics and Simple Minds. Neverr really liked more than a couple of Eurythmics songs, but everything else is cool.
 
Jim.

Liking P.E. and Guns N' Roses and Prong.....I don't think that's that far fetched. 

In "Ferris Bueler's Day Off," meanwhile, Ferris had posters of Cabaret Voltaire, Bryan Ferry, Charlie Sexton, Simple Minds and our own KILLING JOKE ... and knew all the lyrics to Wayne Newtown's "Danke Schoen." *THAT*, my friends, is eclectic taste.

>Afternoon all. Just watching the Special Really Extended Special Edition of Terminator 2. As well as Public Enemy (okay) and Guns'n'Roses (oh dear) posters, John has a Prong poster on his wall, Beg To Differ album. Not sure how that squares with his other music tastes, mind you...
