and yes, i'm serious. dude was hot stuff back in the day.

what would they sing? who'd have the deeper tint to his shades?

the mind boggles.

he looks like that dude in that episode of dexter's laboratory where dexter learned to play piano (i think he learned piano in it...)

who is Paul Williams??

you all are YOUNG.

i need to wake all my old senile orger people up out of their craftmatic adjustable beds so they can school you on paul williams.

ah-hooooo....

he was like mr. '70s dude - he was EVERYwhere with his little leisure suits and his tinted aviator glasses. i'm not really exactly sure what his whole deal was supposed to be. i don't think anyone knew.

Brian De Palma's Phantom Of The Paradise

oh, i thought you meant Paul Williams, ace dtective from the Young and The Restless

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

that WAS him

Didn't he write Barbara Streisand's "Evergreen" from "A Star is Born"? I think that's such a pretty song.

I was obsessed with Phantom of the Paradise when I was about 8 or so. Not De Palma's finest hour (I'd give that honour to Blow Out), but it was a glorious mess.

You are right!!! He was the the piano instructor
on an episode of DEXTER'S LABORATORY!

I thought he was dead. I guess I was wrong?
