I'm often fascinated by uber-footnotes in history; either in pictures (ie. who's the woman in the picture they always show kneeling over the body at Kent State?) or otherwise (ie Raymond Jones - to quote Wikipedia: The Beatles had recorded the 'My Bonnie' single with Tony Sheridan in Germany...Epstein's version of the story was that a customer—Raymond Jones—walked into the NEMS shop and asked Epstein for the "My Bonnie" single, which made Epstein curious about the group.") Who are these people? Has anyone ever interviewed them? That should be a whole book, interviews with these footnote people. There's millions of 'em.
A la HERE and HERE.
The latest is this picture:
Who is that guy? Does anyone know who he is? And what's up with that sweater - do you think he wore that around to the bars afterwards, hoping chicks would recognize him from the iconic photo? Was there a run on that sweater that year, thousands of dudes hoping to fool chicks into thinking they were that guy to get laid? Fascinating.
