November 15, 20232 yr First time I saw this I thought it was David Johansen of the New York Dolls but now I think it is Chrissy Hynde pulling off Joan Jett's leather pants.

November 22, 20232 yr Ian shows up every year for the Ft Reno concert series every summer, DC musical legend.
December 8, 20232 yr Popular Post OK, this isn't exactly in line with most photos on this thread, but I thought it was cool. A bunch of friends of mine from Chicago get together 4 times a year at Twin Anchors, and tonight was the night. Apparently, Bono is in town on a break from Las Vegas to attend a film festival, and he walked in. Voila (wallah), selfie with Bono: Edited December 8, 20232 yr by jimmyjazz
December 10, 20232 yr Definitely a cool pic, @jimmyjazz More details, please, on how this happened. Bono just walked in, saw how awesome y'all were and said "I want to take a selfie with you cool dudes"? And I realize it's all camera perspective, but he almost looks taller than most of your crew which would make y'all a bunch of liliputians.
December 10, 20232 yr He isn't even better than the real thing, and they still haven't found the selfie they're looking for.

I live in Austin, not Chicago. As I heard it, he walked in and was happy to oblige anyone who wanted a photo or a chat.
December 10, 20232 yr Ahh, a true Irishman to the bone. Nicely done, Bono. And I misread your original post, JJ, and thought you joined your friends in Chicago for this quarterly get together, or at least on occasion. I was kinda jealous of that level of friendship.

Believe me, I'd like to go sometime, but honestly I'd need to wrap a vacation around it. Maybe this summer, I love summer in Chicago.
December 16, 20232 yr I really should know who more of these people are than I do. But a quick caption wouldn't kill anyone.
December 16, 20232 yr Last two are Pink Floyd (pre David Gilmour?) and Stevie Nicks / Lindsey Buckingham (at least I think it’s LB)

December 24, 20232 yr You may be cool but you'll never be Led-Zeppelin-flying-around-in-their-own-airplane with a fireplace cool.
December 27, 20231 yr The Beatles watching the Jimi Hendrix Experience play at the Saville Theatre in London, 1967.

I'm so busy looking at how cool and chill they look. Then the ornate mantle clock. Then the upholstery. Didn't even occur to my dumb ass until 90 seconds later, "Oh, they have an open fireplace on a flying aircraft, super smart!" 9 hours ago, brakeman said: The Beatles watching the Jimi Hendrix Experience play at the Saville Theatre in London, 1967. One of the world's greatest guitarists, George Harrison. Look at the expression on his face, "Holy shit! I didn't even know what was a thing!"
December 27, 20231 yr Here's some trivia for you: Ringo had a place in London. 33 Montagu Square. After he got married, he moved out-of-town, but kept the place. He ended up renting it to Hendrix. It didn't take long for Hendrix to get evicted for excessive noise. He did, however, have time to write "the wind cries mary" there. John and Yoko eventually moved in, and the nude album cover was shot in that same place. I was standing in front of it last week. Edited December 27, 20231 yr by Gil Bang
January 5, 20241 yr Halloween '81 Cotton Bowl. I was a high school freshman and asked my dad if I could go see The Rolling Stones. He said "I have some stones you can roll," and made me pick up rocks out of the fields all weekend. He liked to recall that story until I shut him up by telling I told him that at that point I just quit asking and started going to concerts without permission.

Fab Tbirds and ZZ Top on the bill. Lots and lots of Mick look alikes crawled out of the wood pile and roamed the crowd. I had no clue there was such a subculture. A few were dead ringers.
