"Wow" on the Charles Manson photo, Dennis. I've never seen a picture of him where he isn't hirsute and flaming-eyed. He looks so sweet and young and innocent here.

I know what you mean. That's why I found the photo so compelling. It's hard to believe he changed from that goofy teenager into a lunatic.

Everyone's heard of the Tate-LaBianca murders. When Jamie and I lived in L.A., we lived a block away from the LaBianca house, although we didn't live there when the murders occurred. Always very, very spooky walking past that house.

Missed the Union cap, but did notice Che was sucking the guts out of a grenade.

Dec. 2009
ROME — A small wooden guitar painted by Pablo Picasso for his daughter Paloma has been found in a shoe box in the apartment of an Italian businessman in Pomezia, near Rome, Italian media reported Tuesday.
The Spanish artist many years ago had given the little guitar, painted yellow, gray and black, to his friend, Italian artist Giuseppe Vittorio Parisi, media reports said.
Parisi at age 92 was convinced to hand over the little guitar to an Italian businessman and amateur artist who had promised to put it in a glass case to preserve it.
But from that day the Picasso painted guitar has not been seen.
After Parisi's death earlier this year, his widow Wanda had asked police to try to find the famous guitar. Investigators finally uncovered it in the apartment of the businessman Parisi had entrusted the object.
The little guitar is now destined for the contemporary art museum in Maccagno, the owner's home town located on Lake Maggiore in northern Italy.
