the OTHER bands/musicians

so, according to Wikipedia, some of the other artists that Darkwood used were (reminiscent of) Mozart, Louis Armstrong, and Ella Fitzgerald.

There were 5...
1.) the kid
2.) the black trumpet player
3.) the black lounge signer (Fitzgerald, for sure)
4.) the white hippie looking chick
5.) the white guy with long curly hair

My personal theories...
1.) Mozart.
2.) Armstrong? He looked VERY different from Louis if you ask me...
3.) DEFINATELY Ella Fitzgerald
4.) I, personally, think #4 symbolized Janis Joplin.
5.) Looks like Robert Plant (but he didn't die IRL...*shrug*)

YOUR THOUGHTS?

I'm thinking the aliens in Darkwoods book are based on...

1.) Mozart
2.) Louis Armstrong
3.) Ella Fitzgerald
4.) Janis Joplin
5.) Stevie Ray Vaughan

there is more than 5 but they don't show us all of 'em

Stevie Ray Vaughan... good answer, and it fits because he's actually dead.

Has anybody here ever SEEN a picture of Louis Armstrong?!?!? No. Not Satchmo. Miles Davis, possibly? And I truly think that #3 is Aretha Franklin rather than Ella.

[–] sweetprincessplacebo 18 years ago

I thought #3 was Billie Holiday

[–] bg2_fanatic 18 years ago

Mozart, Aretha Franklin, and BOB DYLAN.

Aretha ain't dead

1) Definitely young Mozart, insinuating Darkwood was Mozart's "father" and that the adult Mozart was a different person.
2) Most likely Miles Davis.
3) More likely Billie Holiday, who had notorious alcohol, drug, and depression problems.
I don't remember the order of the last two, but here goes: :P
I agree with Stevie Ray being the guitarisgt, as he has his trademark hat and did have trouble before he died, and most likely Janis Joplin, which makes the most sense.

Wow, I somehow completely forgot her! Thanks, that actually does make more sense.

[–] Satch7699 16 years ago

Bobby isn't either, but i totally agree with those 3. I dont think it really matters if they are dead, nothing else in the movie is based off of the real world lol!

1. Mozart
2. Jimmi Hendrix
3. Ella Fitzgerald
