Jim Marshall, R.I.P.

Jimi Hendrix raising his fist in triumph? Yeah, he did that one.
Janis Joplin reclining on a couch with a bottle of Southern Comfort? Yep. That's his.
The Beatles walking across the Candlestick Park field on Aug. 29, 1966? You got it. It's his.
JIM MARSHALL, the legendary rock photographer from SAN FRANCISCO, has died age 74.
My favorite Marshall image is the one of JOHNNY CASH flippin' the bird. Even though Cash was ostensibly "country," this iconic photo just screams "rock 'n' roll."
Take a moment today to pay tribute to Marshall and his work: He did more than most to imprint images on our culture.
