Is this it?

Good As You thinks they've found the real Davies, who's a member of a band called the Glass Gypsies. Does look a whole lot like him.

UPDATE: Check out this Glass Gypsies review from FreePress.org. Political satire? We've found our man.

Bobby Conn and the Glass Gypsies have written the funniest political satire album of the year. But don’t laugh at this glammed up six-piece from Chicago. The art is high; it’s just their scruples that are low. In the making of The Homeland, Bobby Conn effortlessly channels the essence of several of his heroes. It’s as if David Bowie and Freddie Mercury merged together and made the ideal anti-Bush album with Frank Zappa as the producer.

The Gypsies sophisticated Syncopation blasts the opening track, “We Come in Peace” wide open. This song mocks the right wing view of the war in Iraq. Bobby Conn playfully offers up the lines, "We are your friends, we come in peace /We brought our guns to set you free." With the band driving full force, Conn mocks the status quo with contemptuous lines like, “We have no fear of your disgust /You hate us ‘cause your jealous of success.”

In magnificent rock opera style, “We’re Taking Over the World” continues the mocudrama theme. Here Conn congers up a collection of secret societies and shadow government players including 33rd degree Masons, tenth generation Illuminati, and Pagan gods from outer space. In greedy sounding harmonies, the characters gleefully celebrate their achievements: “Franchised Jesus Christ /Organized paradise /Clear Channel, bargain priced.”

I'm not convinced. There are surely a boat load of chubby guys around who look like him. Heck, one of my mates looks like him! :-)

Now I'm not so sure! LOL!

I put together a little image of Donnie and Colby (from Bobby Conn) taken from connfest.bobbyconn.co.uk.

You be the judge - Is this the same man?
