You think this is disturbing?
Although I don’t believe rock ‘n roll has provided any photographs as disturbing as the most disturbing images we’ve seen published from wars, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, and so forth, it has produced its own collection of disturbing images that, once seen, are forever burned in the viewer’s mind.

That’s funny! Dig the Michael Caine specs.
Ha, I was expecting the cover of Two Virgins.
Mod, I remember that disturbing photo! What I don’t remember is who it features. Perhaps you could share?
I don’t recall the legend providing a specific name of a disco. I think these were just anonymous NYC disco folks.
