One Jason Momoa (whose fame and work are not nearly so well known to me as that of David Lindley, Steve Fishell, Ben Harper, Greg Leisz and John Fahey) was featured in a commercial for Rocket Mortgage featured in the first half of Super Bowl LIV. The point seemed to be that Rocket Mortgage somehow allows a person to be who he really is which, by the end of the spot, is not a ripped superhero, but a skinny balding homebody, content to sink into his couch with a combover and a Weissenborn. Not a real one, but still good to have the style represented to a large audience.

Now watch the prices go up like Nationals after Dire Straits' "Brothers In Arms".

| That's a funny one. He also owns a pink Mule resonator. |

The behind the scenes video is pretty entertaining as well. They actually hired a really skinny guy and built prosthetic arms and chest so he could remove them.
It's worth viewing just to see his wife Lisa Bonet's reactions to his hair.
