Rai Thistlethwayte Pop Beginnings
2:07PM Jess McGuire | Good grief.
Yesterday we arrived home from a quick jaunt in the country to discover an email from charming reader Ruth.
Fresh off metafilter today, Thirsty Merc’s Rai Thistlethwayte produced this pop “gem” in his formative years. And yet I enjoy it more than Thirsty Merc.
Sweet Jesus. Here’s the clip.
While his trademark facial hair is missing, those dominant eyebrows prove without a doubt it really is him. We salute his attempt to “give a smile to the planet” (“Cheers!” – The Planet) but are mildly concerned by our suspicion he seems to be wanting to have a threeway with the couple appearing in the video.
We wonder if perhaps he grew his ridiculous looking goatee so no one would ever recognise him and his pop past?
Thanks Ruth!
