heard a great interview with him on Fresh Air last night. He spoke about the death of his brother last year and about his website, thoroughly enjoyable.

The front page of the "Weekend" section of this morning's Philadelphia Inquirer has a photo of JGL and Seth Rogen. JGL is wearing a knit cap pulled down over his ears, and he is grinning from ear to ear. In this photo he looks so much Heath Ledger I did a double take.

Here's an interesting link someone posted over at LiveJournal.  JGL doing a "cover" of a song his brother loved:

Wow, great!  Oh, I have always loved this song too - I especially love it sung in German "Völlig losgelöst".  It has a fantastic ending too.

I never realized that JGL was so musical - I love the songs he chooses and his interpretations of them.   A very creative guy.   I'm glad music is helping him through this difficult time for him, a little at a time.  Good to see him back!  



I just reread this whole thread.

Imagine my surprise about the above quoted.
I never knew there was an English version of Major Tom, or that anyone outside of Germany actually knew the song! :o
I really disliked NDW* when it happened, and still dislike it today. But Major Tom was one of the few songs from it I did like.



*NDW = Neue Deutsche Welle (literally: new German wave ::)). A flood of German singing popstars with incredibly stupid songs and lyrics, which were suddenly totally hip in the 80ies. But then, I never liked the 80ies too much anyway. I boycotted the attire, I boycotted the hair, and for a good deal also the music. I was a teenager and simply against anything others liked, lol. I was the girl who never missed a chance for strife.

NDW: they say you should learn something new everyday. Today it was NDW.

It's as close as you can get to a Heathlike experience: one actor who looks like him, and another actor who sounds (a little) like him.
