A technician came into my office to install something on my computer. He looked at my screen saver which is Bruce and Craig at Carnegie Hall. Our conversation went like this:
Techie: Where was that taken?
Me: Carnegie Hall
Techie: (Pointing to Bruce) Who is that? He looks familiar.
Me: Bruce Springsteen
Techie: I thought he looked familiar. I'm not really a fan.
Techie: (Pointing to Craig) And that's you?
Me: Ummmmm........
Aside from the fact that CF is ten years older than me I wasn't quite sure how to take it. While I often describe THS as the best bar band in the world with a lead singer who looks like me - I never had anyone independently say that CF looks like me.
I did promote their new CD - but I'm not sure he was buying.

Haha! That's awesome. I assume you're in the Black Square Glasses club with short, receding dark hair too? I had a girl come up to me after The Rex show in Pittsburgh and tell me how awesome "you guys are" I corrected her after a few minutes.  |

I had a girl come up to me after The Rex show in Pittsburgh and tell me how awesome "you guys are" I corrected her after a few minutes. First - There is nothing receding about my hairline. My glasses are rounded and my hair is short - although Craig was in his longer hair full beard stage then (I have a goatee). And if it was a girl after the show I would have said "Yeah - I know babe". Well actually not because my better half would smack me silly. Anyway I think it is cool that my favorite lead singer looks and dresses like an accountant on casual Friday. Wayne |

Another to add to the list of look-alikes, an MTV writer named James Montgomery. I listened to a podcast of Subterranean where he and a girl talked about his Craig-like looks and how only boys could like the Hold Steady (boo!)

Mike - ha, Katie said at Manchester that you look like Julian, but she didn't want to tell you that in case you didn't like him!
