Did Howlin' Wolf ever sing any songs named after these guys?
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 7:28pm
ultradamno:

Don Van Vliet, in spite of having covered Evil, used to swear his singing wasn't influenced by Wolf. Which is my go to example of craziest thing ever.

I thought Van Halen was a brothers and Blondie is a group.
  7:42pm
JakeGould:

No, brothers make movies nowadays. And if they make a good movie they have trilogies.

Just imagine of “The Maltese Falcon” was directed by the “Hughes Brothers” and spawned sequels like… “The Persian Falcon” or the “The South Seas Falcon”

The Maltese Falcons

JakeGould:

“One falcon to rule them all!”
  7:49pm
JakeGould:

And in each film the falcon itself is either lead, wood, or stone.

Only one has the real jewels in the third installment: Three Falcon Monte.
  7:52pm
Archie:

You have got to be falcon kidding me!
  7:53pm
JakeGould:

That’s why Steven Soderbergh is no longer making films. No brother to form “The Soderbergh Brothers.”
  7:53pm
JakeGould:

@Archie: And that is what the comedy starring whoever that guy is from “Paul Blart: Mall Cop” is would say.
  7:56pm
