Man what the Hell is This? I started at the beginning thumbing through this thread not realizing how many pages it had. Ledderman10 told me about it after I posted how I liked his Johnny Guitar Watson toon avatar. He sent me here and how I wished I had jumped in from the beginning.
This was amazing and I love mysteries and so do many of you !
Anyway here's JGW live of whom I saw back in NYC. Hell of an entertainer, funkmaster and guitarist.
Vedder was inspired to write the lyrics for "Johnny Guitar" after viewing a collage of album covers that is pasted on the bathroom wall of the band's rehearsal space. He noticed the album cover for Johnny "Guitar" Watson's 1979 album, What the Hell Is This?, and imagined a man who becomes attracted to one of the various women on the cover and then wonders why this woman would rather be one of Watson's many girlfriends instead of his only one.

someone please find the red legs. i can't keep searching for 1960s movie moments...
I almost thought she could possibly be from "Attack of the 50 ft. Woman" but I couldn't find any shots showing if she wore heels in the movie.
I'm pretty sure she was barefooted.
Peace

so just throwing it out that I love the fact that all the pictures hark "back" to another time ...
backspacing it to years ago. I know that technically the word backspacer doesn't have to do with back-in-time, but still having the word "back" in there helps with the visuals for me. the images perfectly match the title because the title is associated with another thing from back in time (typewriters).
1st panel: 1950s-1960s gives off a Stand By Me vibe, and has the old steam engine locomotive
2nd panel: 1960s those models sold as toys back in the day
3rd: 1920s
4th: 1940s-1950s
5th: 1800s - 1950s
6th: 1960s-70s
7th: 1970s
8th: 1940s
and the whole "comics" look harks back to another time as well. at least when I think of comics I think of older times when kids used to read them religiously before tv.
Tom being as old as he is was the perfect artist for this job! job well done~
I have wracked my brains trying to think of a contemporary poster for the 3rd set of legs (to go with Raquel Welch and Ursula Andress). One that hadn't been mentioned that I remembered being popular around that time was Barbarella (Jane Fonda) so I tried looking at posters from that, since I didn't really remember exactly what it looked like. Wasn't even close:
Bump.
I've loved following this.
Has anyone thought that the legs in red dress could be someone futuristic?
We have legs from BC, then legs from Bond.
Could it be some sort of timeline thing?

You mean like Uhura (sp?) form Star Trek? Futuristic and from the 60's/70's at the same time, no?
I was thinking Diana Ross or Tina Turner myself. I almost found it on the cover of "Tina Live" but the feet are in the wrong position.

in that interview with ed from toronto where he's talkin' about the songs he said something about a dude falling in love with a girl on an album cover.. maybe the red dress legs are from an album cover... since tina turner is a contender, could it have something to do with her role in Tommy?
Very close, but album shoes are black, and knee is bent more.
Right. That's the shot from Tina Live. But I hadn't suggested that particular shot for the reasons UncleSpaggles mentioned. Pretty darn close though. I gave it some serious thought but I don't think that the other pictures Tom Tomorrow appropriated were modified that much.

The other two pairs of legs are sooooo iconic though, it should be obvious. Argh!
In thinking about the word "legs" as a nickname the only person that comes to mind is Madeline Kahn as Lily VonSchtupp in Blazing Saddles because of that Harvey Korman line "Lily Lily Lily leeeggggsss Lily..." but I can't seem to locate a shot.

If it's any consolation Poncier I knew it was Tina the moment I saw the picture. Aren't her legs insured for millions? None like them - evah! Saw her recently on a show and she still is smokin and hasn't downsized the stiletto heels a centimeter and looks fantastic. She's an awesome woman I admire greatly. Turns 70 this year, hard to believe it.

My partner reckons the 'red' legs belong to his fav Liz Hurley.................maybe Austin Power movie?
The Austin Power's movie.
Some 'Bond' type bloke, waking up in the 'Future' ( Spaceships included ) in ' Todays world'
The strappy, black, high heel shoes seem to be far too sexy to belong to an earlier period.
Please correct me if I'm wrong..........please..............i need sleep......... :arrow:
This is probably gonna get me in hot water (even that phrase seems politically incorrect), but I think the legs have to belong to a black woman - having a black man surrounded by white women may be still too soon for some states..?
but I think the legs have to belong to a black woman -.
At one time I was thinking Halle Berry. In Swordfish she has a little red dress and high heels, but the shoes aren't the same and I can't find the 'pose'. But I would also think a darker skinned person (or maybe mediterranean?).
i know the fire technically isn't there, but this train is "hellbound" and as the myth goes there's fire in hell...also not sure if this has already been posted as a possibility and i'm apologizing now for not sifting through every thread...at work right now and my lunch is pretty much over LOL.
as for the boy, the second song on this album is called "lost and lonely child"
anyway...
