Sitting here on the forum while watching Tommy (rock opera). The Preacher in the church of Marilyn Monroe kinda looks like EC but definetly sounds like him. Full beard and playing a Les Paul, but sure sounds like his playing.

Got me wondering, any other famous guitarists play in the movies?

hmm...was just looking at the cast and I don't remember seeing Jack Nicholson.

Maybe time to watch again in the near future.

Someone asked me if I was interested in that role but I was holding out for a part in "The Little Shop of Horrors." :idea: Nicholson was in the TV drama version of it years ago. By the time they got around to doing the film, I was too old, and Steve Martin got the role, :( but I had all the training. :wink:
