That’s Ray Parker (”Ghostbusters”) on guitar in that clip. He had to have been in his teens at the time.

I saw Stevie perform at the Taste of Chicago two weeks ago. It was a picture perfect Chicago evening, and Grant Park was as packed as I’ve ever seen it in my 39 years.

Stevie performed over 30 songs, over the span of 3 hours. I was suprised to find that I knew most of them. He sounded fantastic, had an amazing band, including his daughter who sings background. It was a classic Chicago free concert. A very happy and racially mixed crowd.

I’ll definitely go see him perform again.

bonkers–yep, that’s exactly what i thought, that the ’art’ of it overcame his cynicism……it really is a great shot. i really liked it…..i wish i knew how to link an image from my scanner, i would so everyone could see it, it should be seen. and felt. maybe i’ll put it up on my flickr page, am i allowed to do that? it won’t be large enough though, size is limited….

and i wondered about the pay, maybe he just thought it was a cool idea since he got to put his ’trademarks’ all over it…….power/control is money when you already have money. and he would like the ’art’ of it.
but yeah, i’m sure he got paid, too..a lot.

it looked like hers…i thought it was…gotta be…..but don’t know for a fact.

I’ve seen that. They must’ve paid a lot even for Keith’s standards since he’s usually mocking “high fashion.” Either way, it’s good for bidness! Cool photo…I think it was Annie Liebovitz, wasn’t it?

and ctuttle–just occurred to me how funny it is that a retired principal and 9th grade english teacher, who know all the p’s and q’s of protocol were shushed by a dweeb man……oh and me, i’m not a teacher…..

that’s kinda funny.

ctuttle—YES, in a wide variety of areas and subjects………but you already knew that. and you didn’t write me back on the email i gave you, i didn’t want to have to go to flickr mail all the time……..they’re leaving tomorrow.

bonkers at 74–’keef’ is in a louis vitton ad, in a hotel room with a louis vitton guitar case, quite a photo…..really cool.

wish i knew how to make a link for photos, i would scan it and link it. was in the time issue about design. all forms…….i ’stole’ it with permission from my doc’s office, i don’t normally do that, but it was quite an issue about top 100 designers today and wanted to read it again and didn’t know if i could find one. i will return it after i’ve passed it around or if i find a copy.
