A Room Full of Mirrors

Just a few Jimi photos I scanned myself from the book "Room Full of Mirrors." I love Jimi, hope you enjoy.

John's last photo shoot

Two scans of Yoko and Sean from October, 1981 issue of Rolling Stone; all other images scanned from January, 1981 issue of Rolling Stone. All scans by me.

I've been doing some scanning of my own lately.

I just thought I'd share with you guys a few pictures I've scanned from some old Rolling Stone magazines I have. Enjoy!

John Lennon and George Harrison are my personal two favorite Beatles. Don't get me wrong, I love love them all, but ask me which two I like apart from the group the most and there it is. They both fascinate me, but what fascinates me even more was the friendship the two had. I always get the feeling they were closer to each other than anyone else in the band, especially after the breakup. I love them both for many reasons. And, as always, I take no credit for any of these images, but they're saved to my computer so I really have no idea where they came from.

No one wonder the Beatles were obsessed

Brigitte Bardot was absolutely beautiful. I know I'm not the first to post these at all, but I feel as though she doesn't get as much credit as she should, especiall considering she is the reason the bikini is what it is.

Hier Ou Demain

2009-11-12T18:23:00.000-08:00

This is a clip from the 1967 French television film Anna (starring Anna Karina), and she had this cameo, where she sings and in the credits she's listed as: "Une jeune femme dans la soirée dansante," which means "A young woman in the dance." The song she's sing is called "Hier Ou Demain." No one sang in French quite like Marianne.

Lyrics:

Écoute mon c?ur qui bat
Il ne bat pas pour toi,
Mais pour un autre que toi
Que je ne connais pas.
Hier ou demain,
Je t'aurais dit oui.
Hier ou demain,
Mais pas aujourd'hui.
Oui, j'aurais pu être à toi,
Mais tu n'étais pas là.
J'étais libre comme toi,
Mais ne le savais pas.
Hier ou demain,
Je t'aurais dit oui.
Hier ou demain,
Mais pas aujourd'hui.
Hier est si loin déjà
Et je ne t'aimais pas.
Et dès demain si tu penses à moi
Je ne serai plus là.
Hier ou demain,
Je t'aurais dit oui.
Hier ou demain,
Mais pas aujourd'hui.
Hier ou demain,
Mais pas aujourd'hui.

Translation:

Hear my heart beating
He did not fight for you
But other than you
I do not know.
Yesterday or tomorrow
I would have said yes.
Yesterday or tomorrow
But not today.
Yes, I could be you,
But you were not there.
I was free like you,
But do not know.
Yesterday or tomorrow
I would have said yes.
Yesterday or tomorrow
But not today.
Yesterday is so far already
And I do not love you.
And tomorrow if you think of me
I am no longer there.
Yesterday or tomorrow
I would have said yes.
Yesterday or tomorrow
But not today.
Yesterday or tomorrow
But not today.

I don't remember where I saw this (so obviously it doesn't belong to me, though I really want to see this movie), but I loved it and here it is for you to enjoy as well.

"If you need me, all you gotta do is send for me. And I'll be there, right there, where I belong."

Four of my favorite Keith pictures. Especially the last. I want him for Christmas this year. Please and Thank you.

Rosie, won't you please come home

Marianne Faithfull had a dog named Rosie, and she appears in quite a few pictures. I'm sure there are more out there, but for right now these are all I can find. She also had a song called "Rosie, Rosie," about a girl named Rosie who ran away from home to join the "upper classes" and the singer wishes she'd come back because home isn't the same without Rosie. I don't know who wrote the song, but it was on her Loveinamist album released in 1967. The first two images were scanned by the wonderful (Diet) Coke and Sympathy, whose blog you can find under my followed blogs. Or you can just click on it, whatever.

Keith Richards, Marianne Faithfull and Sunglasses <3

Brand New

I have created this for the sole purpose of having an actual identity (sort of) when I comment on other blogs that are much better than mine. And we'll see where it goes from here.
