Celebrity fans of Sonic Youth
 

Basically, just give names of famous people who are fans of sy. I have learned that David Arquette is a fan.

hahahah
what?

dude, you have got to stop posting while drunk. It makes you look bad.

chloe sevigny has a confusion is sex t-shirt that she bought in a new york thrift store. she used to fantasise that it belonged to thurston moore, apparently.

who told ya that?

LOL.

On the John Stewart show, Liv Tyler said she they were her favorite band.

she told me

maybe not really a "fan", but i remember a radio show/interview with football (soccer) player frank rijkaard on dutch vpro radio in the early 90's where he mentioned a bunch of bands he liked and sonic youth were among them. i was kind of surprised considering the notoriously bad taste football players are known for. i also once spoke somebody who claimed having seen him at a sy gig once, but i don't think i believe that.

anyway, he's probably not a celebrity in the usa but he was quite famous in large parts of the world. a legend as a player during his time for ac milan and recently he won his first champions league title as manager of fc barcelona.

somebody posted a pic of Fred Durst with a SY t-shirt...
fan or posser?

listen to limp bizkit and let it anwser your question

cate blanchett said somewhere that she really likes them.

I actually don't mind Limp Bizkit in moderation - They are catchy, and the drummer has jazz training. But I absolutely hate Fred Durst. That Who cover was the worst idea on the planet. I cringe when I hear it.

yeah, fred durst also has a tatoo of kurt cobain.
that MUST mean he makes good music and is really smart.........

Fred Durst is a fucking moron. Limp Biscuit had a couple of good tunes but Durst screwed them all up with his jackassery. They shouild have just fired his ass and replaced him with someone better.

It seems like Cate Blanchett and Chloe Sevigny are the only ones here with any real talent. To a lesser extent Liv Tyler. She's done some ok work. I don't know who Frank Rikaard is, but if he's a famous soccer player, he's probably pretty good. But then again, I couldn't give two shits and a fart about soccer or it's players.

Oh yeah, I almost fogot, fuck David Arquette! He's one of the worst actors in history. He's only famous because of the family name. None of whom are really very talented either.

yeah liv tyler shows a greater taste in music than old pappy, tho

I heard Rosanna Arquette say somethign along the lines of Daydream Nation being her favorite album ever. Also pro skateboarder Ed Templeton is a big fan.

I heard her mention it on television. It was one of those VH1 "I Love the 80s" segments. 1988, naturally. She and Donal Logue both seemed to be fans. Michael Ian Black said it made him want to take Tylenol. He is so much fun.

Hank Aaron

Slavo Herman is quite famous and he's a huge fan of SY too

supposedly, Carson Daly is a fan. at least, he said as much when he had SY play "100%" on his show.

don't forget jason lee, he actually made his debut on the 100% video..
and spike jonze.. he was directing skateboard videos before directing 100%..

Portia De Rossi (Name? From Arrested Development) was praising Goo in an issue of Blender a little while back.

Actually, New Hampshire is about her pappy.

what about the jolie youth?

robert vaughn, the man from UNKLE is a massive youth fan, as is ex-Bond roger moore.

Joan Collins likes to listen to the soundtrack to 'Made in the USA'.

Macauley Culkin?

I heard she likes to have TV Shit playing on repeat while she's making lurrrve.

What about Joan Rivers? I heard she does her gardening to Bad Moon Rising.

She also has a soft spot for Merzbow.I heard stories about Delia Smith too,you know?

I can just about picture her in my head doing that.Hahaha

You mean the ones about her fondness for Throbbing Gristle?

yeah,they had to stop her from cooking while listening to them because she managed to come up with a few food-poisoning-friendly recipes.

You know the stories about a woman spontaneously orgasming at a TG show? I read in the Times' Sunday supplement a few years ago that that was Delia.

i was gonna say macauly culkin but sonicl beat me to it. great minds thinking alike there.

spike jonze didnt direct that video. he only shot the skating parts.
the 100% video was directed by tamra davis.

and its football not soccer!

Matt Groening is a fan isn't he?

i remember that one. she had a good list...
