Marvin Gaye and……
……let’s hope not his dad.
The guy on the right looks like Chuck Close (the painter).
Is that Lester from The Wire? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lester_Freamon
Marvin Gaye for sure… not sure who the blue eyed fella is…
The person on the right is a very frightened Chuck Close (http://artcritical.com/golden/images/chuck-close.jpg)
It is well documented that the two were working on a new album of children’s music before Gaye’s death.
chuck close appears to be the winning guess for the person to the right of marvin in this mural: http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=147608118674740&id=125983330754914
It’s Marvin Gaye and Henry Louis Gates
Duh
Remember the Harvard University professor who got arrested in his own Cambridge home? Obama had him over for a beer at the White House—”the Beer Summit” (http://articles.nydailynews.com/2009-07-30/news/17929066_1_james-crowley-gates-president-obama)? That guy!
Neither a white person nor a woman, get the PoP torches and pitch forks! (see yesterdays absolutely ridiculous “discussion” about the mural on the side of Ben’s.
I’m getting my popcorn ready!
so defensive.
I say Marvin Gaye and Chuck Close
My guess, too. I know Marvin Gaye was a DC native. Not sure why Chuck Close is there, except perhaps for the fact he comes from Washington (State).
Wow, I hadn’t seen this one in years. They were a wonderful couple who lived in the area a long time ago. If memory serves, Phil was the name of the gentleman on the right.
Paul Mooney(Negrodamus) and…??!?!
Black Jesus an Babbitt- i know it is not but it would make sense – think about it.
Jim Vance!
Where is this mural?
Either the muralist took creative license and gave Dr. Gates blue eyes, or it’s Chuck Close.
