My Bedroom, c. 1980


Who can you identify?

I see Morrison, of course, and did you give me that poster because I still have it if you did?!
I see Jimi hanging on the left and also burning his guitar in the center.
Under the marque I see The Beatles flanked by Frank Zappa (far left) and Niel Young (I think) on the right.
Is that Lynyrd Skynyrd under the words Rock n Roll (cut from Rolling Stone Magazine?) and a Long-shot guess of The Eagles in the big crowd concert shot? (Maybe Van Halen?)
Do I see a Bruce Springsteen album bottom left corner?
I can't identify the other 2 small photos of left handed guitarists or the Yes style art poster upper right.
But...Where's Waldo?

I aw-so won-do way-uh is Wow-do. Pwa-bub-we he wan away and is now wiving at Wabbit Widge Apaht-ments.

I don't remember why I was so fixated with Lynyrd Skynrd, considering that now "Free Bird" is about the last song I wanna hear!

All those lefty guitarists are Jimi, and I think the back-shot group in the big crowd concert shot is also Lynrd.

Yeah, that's the Born to Run album on the floor and the Yes style art poster is a Yes Style art poster.

I don't remember what became of the Jim Morrison poster, maybe I gave it to you and you wrote "I am the Lizard King I can do anything" on it. That's what I vaguely remember.

Where was my Elvis Costello pic? Where was my Dr. Funkenstein?

And where's Bob Marley? Perhaps he came along in the college daze. And as far as Skynyrd goes, I was just remembering this morning how much I liked their cool squeaky guitar sounds back when Gimme Back My Bullets was still fresh.
And lastly, my Morrison poster Does have I am the Lizard King written on it.
If there was a picture of your brothers room, I'm thinking there would be a poster of The Residents.
