Front Left is in charge! Now, if I could just get "Lisztomania" out of my damned head.

Oh, I get it! Phoenix rises from ashes in symbol of rebirth. French pop (sorry, poppity) band names itself after legendary flammable bird and emerges from cemetery fully alive (alas, not as zombies) to provide its song for a Cadillac ad. I love when French people lay on the symbolism with a shovel.

Since these aren't subtle Frenchmen, I'll have to figure they put their leader up front. Front left is in charge.

All-black has the in-charge wardrobe, but it looks like he just got his hand slapped with a ruler. Of course he's looking at the person doing the slapping - the leader, mr.frontleft.

(there's probably a patton-montgomery-degaulle joke to be made here, but i can't quite put it together.)

Patton, Montgomery, and DeGaulle walk into a bar. Patton slaps Montgomery's hand with a ruler. Montgomery orders a martini and demands a duel.

DeGaulle surrenders.

The one with his coat buttoned. It's always the best dressed fellow. He's cracking his knuckles, getting ready to beat the next one who gets out of line again.

P.S. good one, Jared X.
