Bob Dylan and Adam Sandler -- Celebrity Doppelgangers?

  • Posted on May 24th 2012 5:04PM by Theo Spielberg

Bob Dylan and Adam Sandler don't have very much in common (that we're aware of.) Dylan is notorious for his constant stylistic changes; Sandler does pretty much the same thing in every movie. So what exactly links these two? They look extremely alike.

As Adam Sandler has aged, he's started to look more and more like Bob Dylan. However, nowhere was it more clear than when he played the disheveled curmudgeon in "Reign Over Me" (You probably didn't see the movie, so watch the trailer below). So, in honor of Bob Dylan's 71st birthday we decided to compare the musical legend to Billy Madison.

In House With Paul Weller: The Modfather on Not Giving a 'F---' What Others Think and Aging -- Exclusive Video

Gino DePinto, AOL

At a point in his life when he might legitimately be winding down, Paul Weller is getting worked up. With his three most recent albums -- the latest of which, Sonik Kicks, arrived in March -- the 53-year-old former Jam and Style Council frontman has created a trilogy of late-career triumphs, transcending his usual rock and soul influences to incorporate elements of psychedelia, electronica, dub and even krautrock.

He's come a long way since the late '70s, when he emerged with the Jam as punk's answer to Pete Townshend, but even now, he carries himself with an air of mod cool. Stopping by Spinner's New York City offices for an In House visit, Weller sports slim trousers, a fitted black T-shirt and a well-manicured mop of gray hair. He's the father of newborn twins -- the excellently named John Paul and Bowie -- and when they're old enough to play soccer, he'll be the best-dressed dad on the sidelines.

"RIP Mike Harland (10 000 Watt Head, the Bagel, ect)," the publication tweeted yesterday. "Sad news for the Toronto indie scene."

"Mike Harland, formerly of Acid Test and 10,000 Watt Head, has passed away," Everyone's A DJ tweeted this afternoon. "He was a good man, and a great local DJ to boot. He'll be missed."
