On page 17 of this week's New Yorker (Dec. 1) there's an illustration in connection with the opening of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame annex in NYC showing a line consisting of Hendrix, Lou Reed, Dylan, Iggy, Debbie Harry (?) and Johnny Ramone . . . and the man in front appears to be thatguy! One of the icons of rock! Check it out.

weird. my piercings aren't there, but that's definitely me. it looks like they used some sort of "cartoonize" filter in photoshop on a picture of me from the washington post a couple of years back. one weird thing…my tattoos are on the wrong arms. they flipped the image too.

if anyone wants to steal the copy from their doctor or dentist's waiting room for me, all donated copies will be gladly accepted.

If it wasn't for Dylan also in that picture, I was wondering if you were the gatekeeper at the Pearly Gates to Heaven! LOL

The tattoos would be flipped as well since they just did a quick flip in Photoshop of the image. Not like they spent that much time on you drawing them back on ;)

Ok first …would love to see that image…anyone happen to have there Dec1 2008 copy they want to scan (or have paid access to their archives)

but the real reason I picked a new york thread was this
