Re: brain damage vido lunatics

The first guy shown (right after the ambulance) is George Wallace, former governor of Alabama, a reknown racist, who ran for president as an independent back in '72. (As a musical sidebar, he's the guy Lynyrd Skynyrd was referring to with the line "...In Birmingham they love the governor..." and "...and the governor's true..." in Sweet Home Alabama).

The guy leading the songs by the Christmas tree is Jimmy Swaggert.

Fidel Castro's there, Yassar Arafat and I think Harold MacMillan too.

And, Sir Lawrence Olivier.

To be fair, he later apologized for his anti-segregationist views and appointed several African-Americans during his final gubernatorial term. But yeah, guy was an asshole for the most part.

The guy in the tux looked vaguely like Olivier, but isn't.

The old guy was probably some former Nazi SS Obergruppenfuhrer or a Brit politician. Take your pick.
