Who Shot Rock ‘n’ Roll

What a great show at the Brooklyn Museum! We went yesterday before it got crowded. While the photographer’s backstories are interesting, it’s really all about the pictures, the performers, the music, and your own memories. As well as people you knew.

Just a few of the pictures that stand out: a beautiful shot by William “PoPsie” Randolph of Jimi Hendrix in a suit playing back up for Wilson Pickett; a mesmerizing photo of Radiohead; Keith Richards as a proud papa; David Bowie’s 1973 music video “Life on Mars.” Only one thing – there should have been more women in the show.

It’s up until January 31st and it’s an energizing antidote to winter.
