Cool rock n roll photos

Joe Jackson

This one is kind of creepy when you think of it Paul with Stu the original bass player blurred out in the background
Stu would go on to quit and lose his life and Paul would be become famous and the most recognized bass player on the planet

Stu was there cos he was John's mate, couldn't really play but looked and was cool. another death for John.
 
Beaker Street with Clyde Clifford, then and now. The first real underground music program in the Midwest.

Wow, a real legend of the central plains. It was an AM station with a very powerful signal, broadcasting out of the unlikely locale of Little Rock, Arkansas. Playing underground FM style rock late at night, it could be heard from the gulf up to Canada. It persisted with freeform programming during the time period when that was being phased out on FM stations(early/mid 70's).

It could also be heard all the way to Denver. I did a lot of driving between Madison, WI and Denver to visit a nurse I'd met while a patient at Fitzsimmons Army Hospital. It was a 15 hour drive before the speed limit was reduced to 55, turning it into a 21 hour drive, which I just couldn't do straight through. Listening to Beaker St. while driving through endlessly flat western Iowa and Nebraska was a joy I'll never forget. The miles just melted away.

It's a photo taken with a long lens from a distance, probably with large aperture (seems like an overcast day) thus short depth of field. The out of focus appearance of Stu is just basic optics.
