Rock Massacres, Vol. 4: John Cale
Here's the latest massacre, and this time the honor goes to Mr. John Cale. Now, you at home may be asking "Why would you do such a thing to John Cale? I thought you liked John Cale." And it's true, I do. But these massacres aren't intended merely to punish substandard artists (except for Robert Plant; that was intentional), they are more a kind of love letter in the form of a brutal stabbing or beheading. As Noam Chomsky would say: "To truly love your idols, you must first depict them being horrifically slaughtered in some way, perhaps in a 30 second web-based video, just off the top of my head." I'll tell you, that Chomsky was a true prophet.
I should also point out that the image used is from an old vinyl compilation called Guts, which came out in 1977, a full three years before an enormously popular slasher film. Yeah, that John Cale was a true prophet.

It's a very young Ellen DeGeneres.

That isn't a picture of Jason Vorhees. But it did make me laugh.
