The Phoenix Charlatans?

No, not a new local band here or a sports team, but a real honest-to-goodness admission of music love from actor Joaquin Phoenix, from Charlatans UK singer Tim Burgess.

"Phoenix is apparently giving up acting to pursue music, a passion of his since he learned to play guitar to play the role of Johnny Cash in 2005's "Walk the Line." According to Billboard, Phoenix is working on an album with Tim Burgess, frontman for the UK group The Charlatans. Burgess said, "Once he learnt guitar he found that he had quite a lot of demons inside himself that he wanted to expel through music."

Demons and guitar-playing go hand in hand on Halloween, right?
