Can’t stop looking at or thinking about this picture. An exotic item but also so alone. The wire snaking across the floor. The composition is something else.
Hydra’s cool. No cars if I remember rightly. But lots of donkeys and cats! Have a great time!
This extraordinary premonition from Mad mag in 1990 was recently dug up after getting a mention in the Daily Beast
There were some classic Peter Robinson football photos in the Times. From 60s/70s.
This bunch of herberts are the ‘watch yer car’ gang, Moss Side, 1968. Before a City game.
Edit: for some reason when I opened my eyes this morning it was in my head. But I haven’t thought about it in 30+ years. Let’s Hope there will be something useful remembered tomorrow!
Boy George was sentenced in 2006 to community service after the discovery of c0cain3 at his Manhattan apartment, had originally hoped to fulfil his obligations with an Aids fundraising concert, but instead the former Culture Club frontman was required to show up a week on Monday and received a shovel, broom, gloves and plastic bags from the New York department of sanitation’s district three offices.
He struck the deal after falsely reporting a break-in at his apartment in lower Manhattan, an incident he has said he cannot explain. Police found no sign of a burglary, but did find 13 bags of c0cain3. Charges were dropped in exchange for community service, a $1,000 fine, and the singer’s agreement to undergo drug treatment in London.
At the time of his sentencing, Boy George argued that “it would have been more useful to make 30 grand with a concert, rather than be prancing around in a park”.
“Sweeping the streets of New York was supposed to be a humbling punishment, but the media turned it into an absolute circus. I had hundreds of photographers chasing me just for picking up a plastic bottle. My mother was a charwoman, so I’ve never felt above hard work or cleaning up, but doing it while a wall of paparazzi screams at you makes you realize how truly bizarre fame can be.”
Boy George, Rolling Stone [December 2006]
It should have bin a humbling experience
I spent at least 20 minutes trying to come up with a better pun than this, and failed.
