ART AND ROCK N ROLL

Hi

I read an article this
morning about an art show in Miami and the beginning of the
article made me think about all of the great art associated with
rock and music.  Album covers, concert posters, the
photography work of people like Linda Eastman McCartney and
thousands of others.

Think about it  and
lets talk : )

 Hi

Here is a link to the article.  www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/story/577514.html">http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/story/577514.html

from the article

"Providing the backbeat is Slater Bradley's The Year of the Doppelganger, a four-minute video installation. In it, a long-haired, look-alike friend of the artist plays the thundering drums of Led Zeppelin's When the Levee Breaks, sitting shirtless, pale and gaunt on the University of California-Berkeley football field. When the college's beefy football team practices around him there is a clash of cultures, each man representing a different side of masculinity, the muscular beat holding its own against brute strength."

I would love to see it.

  My favorite is that set of individual altered photo portraits of the beatles that was in Life or Look back in the 60s. Only problem was that they were on front and back of pages, so I could only display 2 at a time --had 'em taped up on the ceiling slope in my attic bedroom.

 So getting back to the topic here:

Album covers.......  there have been some great ones!

How about I start with Led Zeppelin’s  "Houses of the Holy"  The cover evokes all of the strange and fantasy driven stories about the band.........

Art was a big thing with album covers not so much with CD's. I loved the cover art for YES they had great covers also Led Zepplin. Remember Houses of the Holy? And the famous zipper on the Rolling Stones album just to name a few  ,  Maryann
