This is a real picture? And that's not Musk? A.I. has ruined reality

I also thought musk. I’m still 50/50 on it.

Found a different angle

Now it’s a young Matthew Broderick

...with Tracy Morgan?!

There is an uncanny resemblance, also they both loved absurd humor, The song ''cheesecake'' is a lesson in patience and the bueaty of a word being said so many times it cycles between meaningful, meaningless, funny, and annoying.

That‘s clearly young Dave Grohl.

Punk in 1961 ??

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago

You got me curious, since I just posted it with the caption I found it with (and which most Reverse Image searches show for it), so I looked it up - someone suggested that the proper term would have been un blouson noir.

Google Lens found this: https://www.mediastorehouse.com/agence-france-presse-afp/vintage-archive/people-louis-armstrong-1901-1971/louis-armstrong-fan-head-signing-15389046.html

Photo is attributed to the Agence France-Presse, no mention of punk, just a fan. 'Punk' seems like a later addition to the description.
