a few fav things
Saturday 7/9 I pinned some of my favorite photos on a bulletin board today: Dylan wrapped up in his black and white checked scarf ... Two Helen Levitt photos - city kids jumping around in the back of a truck - and a woman holding a package in a houndstooth suit that’s the same pattern on the side of the cab she’s peering into ... Jack Piersons plastic and painted metal Christ ... Picasso in his french sailor shirt with his hands pressed against plate glass ... Genius Laurie Anderson and I making a flip book portrait of ourselves at the Museum of Moving Image ... Jack Kerouac on Allen Ginsberg's fire escape ... Ethel Waters, Carson McCullers and Julie Harris lounging on a brocade sofa backstage on the opening night of Member of the Wedding- my fav photo ever.
1971. Colorado. Freshman year college. Played this daily, repeatedly, constantly. Steve Winwood was 18 when he wrote it. What a jam. Did alternate with Stairway to Heaven, came out same year. I have more memories of the music I listened to than any of my classes...
