Which Jo(h)n Spencer is Cooler? (PICS)

Regrettable Juvenilia

13:00 / 28.10.03

Jon Spencer?

OR

John Spencer?

This is a question with a right and wrong answer.

I think the top John Spencer is cooler. He has darker hair and a gold strap for his guitar. He has nicer eyebrows and is more loud. I like the top one. He is cooler.

Also the West Wing is shit.

I think the bottom John Spencer is far, far cooler as he is much smaller and quicker to load than the top Jon Spencer.

Although if the top Jon Spencer had have been smaller I would have voted for him as the bottom John Spencer has a scarf the colour of sick.

I beg to differ. John with an H is a stone-cold stand-up tough guy straight outta Chicago, and his whiskey-and-razorblades gruffness knocks Mr. BluesExplosion's thin, spastic yowling into a cocked hat.

Jon Spencer is a pretender: he knows nothing of the blues. John Spencer has the blues etched deep in every line on his face.

This one, definitely, seen here when he auditioned for the role of Lurch in the Addams Family:

(us wrinkled old alcoholics must stick together, even if one is only fictional)

Jesus Christ.

There's Leo McGarry fanfic out there.

I know I shouldn't be surprised, after all this time, but still...

Jesus Christ.

Former Motherwell, Chelsea and Scotland star John Spencer.

John Spencer is way, way cooler. It has nothing to do with The West Wing. It has to do with actors being more powerful and important than musicians.

John Spencer for Lieutenant Governor of Indiana!

John Spencer is way cooler. He was the ONLY good thing on LA Law, bring a dignified class to his work, and has a face of a man who has LIVED.

Jon Spencer wouldn't know blues if it knocked him down, beat his head in the pavement and made him call it mommy.

BTW, you misspoke. You meant to say West Wing is THE shit. At least until Arron Sorkin left. But the fanfic...I'll be shaking that off for weeks to come.

The bottom one. Despite constantly being saddled with relatively weak plots involving fictional foreign countries, he's still amazing on The West Wing.

I went to school with a John Spencer, it was his name and address that i gave if ever i got caught for something. i have to say this thread weirded my out because of it.

HE is the cooler j.s. cos he saved me from my parants knowing that i used to shoplift/spit off tall buildings/tresspass/break stuff.

Well, did you get the answer right too, Flyboy?

And what sort of name for a band is "Blues Explosion"? "Blues Ooze" or "Blues Congeal" would be more apt. Blues that explode wouldn't be real Blues surely.

I'd like to see the other Jo[h]n Spencers trying to score a goal.

John Spencer is clearly the cooler one. Jon Spencer needs to be drowned like a sack of cats.

Here's a funny Jon Spencer tale from a friend of mine:

'First Ave [a club in minneapolis] is where my old old band Cattleprod was playing with Pussy Galore and we were outside after the show and Jon Spencer called us artsy fags. Our drummer, Sheela, punched him in the stomach and said, "We're not artsy, asshole."'

Can I tick the 'they're both c**ts' box please?
The only good thing to come out of Jon Sp is the Frank Spencer Blues Explosion.

pointless and uncalled for

17:09 / 30.10.03

John, without a doubt. He tells the best contemporary American President what to do.

Jon on the other hand just turns everything he touches to a smegma coated ball of that crusty white dog turd that makes my tummy feel like its the wrong way up. If he ever turns up on The West Wing I'll join the queue to kill him.

17:12 / 30.10.03

Flyboy - that cat related commentary has made me realise that you are The Devil and I'll be killing you in your sleep tonight.

Tryphena Absent

17:54 / 30.10.03

Hmm, that would probably mess Flyboy's bedroom up a bit.

Saveloy

10:28 / 31.10.03

Flyboy:
"Jon Spencer needs to be drowned like a sack of cats. "

Why is that? Does he come across as a dickhead in interviews or summat? Has he done something very naughty?

No star here laces

They got Paul Pope to do their tour shirts and for that I spread them with oily fanboy lurve juice. But their music sucks taliban dick.

However the coolest John Spencer ever is former world snooker champ, John Spencer, purely for being involved in any way shape or form in the greatest sport ever created by man.

pointless and uncalled for

10:23 / 09.11.03

Anna - philsophical question for you.

If a tree fell in Flyboy's bedroom in full view of hundreds of highly trained observers, would anyone notice?

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

10:35 / 09.11.03

No.
Jon (sans "h") Spencer is obviously the cooler.
Alec Empire produced a track for him. Therefore he gets some radiated coolness (Oh YES! My physics teacher is probably spinning in his grave right now. Or maybe he's still alive. Who knows? He looked like James Mason, anyway, which was funny.) from that.

Blues Explosion! ATTACK!!!

Tsk tsk Killer. Enough of that biting wit. That's between me, Flyboy and you when you can hear my ungrateful-bitch voice through the walls.

Next up: Brad Whitford from West Wing vs. Brad Whitford from Aerosmith?

John motherfucking Spencer.

I'll pour out a little liquor for you tonight.

The story on his untimely death prompted not one, but two sharp intakes of breath for me. The first direct (he was only 58, and I know the West Wing already isn't the same as it used to be, but now it really won't be), and the second when the failure to mention his someone else played Cliff Barnes. WHO KNEW?
