I’ve been meaning to put this somewhere. A while back, I made it to the last day of Brooklyn Museum’s Who Shot Rock and Roll where I saw this photo. It’s the Rolling Stones, in 1963, on their first photo shoot. The band’s manager had only one direction for the photographer, Philip Townsend - to make the band look “mean and nasty.” More shots from the shoot are in his archive.
