Singela homenagem...

Ao maior fotógrafo do rock 'n roll, minha singela homenagem, por seus quase 50 anos de carreira...


Johnny flipping the bird at San Quentin Prison, 1969.

"Contrary to popular belief, John has never been in prison. I think he got busted once for being drunk or something when he was a kid - I don't know and it's none of my business - but he's never been in jail. I've known John since 1962, and I forget why he flipped the bird in this picture. It might have been directed at the television crew who was filming there, or I might have suggested doing a special shot for the warden, but for whatever reason, this has become a very famous, iconic picture. His record company is still using it. It shows John's individuality, but the gesture was definitely done in jest. John's got a great sense of humor and this was not a serious shot." — Jim Marshall
