Still Got That Hunger

Backdated, archival post

---&---

I just watched a TED talk on the Sistine Chapel, and - while it wasn't mentioned in the actual lecture - I noticed a figure in The Last Judgement that lookt familiar to me.


On the right side, about two thirds down, there's a man in a crouching position, covering the left side of his face with his left hand.  (Here's a link to a larger image because it's pretty hard to see in what I've embedded.)

That same posture is on the cover of Still Got That Hunger:


I can't seem to find it again, but I remember reading something that Rod Argent said about some hidden things in the artwork.  Previously, I noticed only the "On the Air" on the microphone to the right of Blunstone, which I thought was a reference to his On the Air Tonight album, but I think using the same posture as that figure in Michelangelo's painting is more the type of thing that Argent was talking about.
