As Director of The Foundation I have been hard at work in the field of Who the F was that Guy. While the foundation is primarily a think tank, on occasion we find ours forced into a research situation. If someone even mentions pop culture I am not sure about, or a name I can't place, I just can't stop myself from running straight to IMDB, its a sickness really. God Bless IMBD.
So to answer that enduring question of, Who the Fuck was that Guy, the answer is Timmy. He's Timmy Cappello, although you probably know him best as the weird guy in with the muscles, chains and giant saxophone singing.."I still Believe, I believe" in The Lost Boys. Apparently, Timmy has enough of a following to warrant several websites, most notably, http://www.ultimatetimmyfanz.com/ or UTF as they like to call it. What has been up to lately you ask? Well, he got his nipple pierced and he still believes. His career has yielded some surprising results, apparently he's been a professional Sax player since the early 70s and played on some of Peter Gabriel's late 70s albums. He is the main touring Sax player for Tina Turner and that landed him a role in her Beyond Thunderdome video...and he plays center stage on Tina's tour, resulting in her quaking hip gyrations. Has he boned Ms. Turner? That, alas I do not know. 
Little known, and I mean little know, facts about Timmy:
1. He played a drug king's henchman on Miami Vice.
2. Appeared in two, count them, two episodes of The Equalizer, once as a porn shop owner and the other time as a roadie.
3. Co Starred with Bob Dylan(WTF) in Hearts of Fire.
4. Played the owner of a Tap Dance club in Gregory Hynes aptly named Blockbuster, TAP.
5. Tours with Ringo's All Star Band.
6. As lead singer of "The Ken Dolls" he was in the only band ever banned from CBGB's for being "too outrageous."
7. He still believes.
Through the lies, Through the storms
Through the cries, And through the wars
Oh, I still believe
Through the heartache,Through the tears
Through the waiting, Through the years
For people like us
In places like this
We need all the hope
That we can get
(Pumps fist!....Sax Solo.. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Oh, I still believe

My uncle, was actually in that group the Ken Dolls. He told me today and my jaw has not come up off the floor.
I never thought of my uncle as a bad ass, but getting banned from CBGBs is something pretty cool.
Thanks for the article

Well pick your jaw up off the floor and use it to get the story of what the hell they did to get banned from CBGB's for godsake, man! And then go update the friggin' Wiki article on Capello or post it up in a blog or something.
Jesus.. you drop a story like that, then leave everyone hanging.. [heads back to lurk zone, muttering, shaking head]
