Random location? You know that part of the city is exploding with development, right?

The sign-in is a little cranky again - had to log in twice.
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.
