- johnny cash flipping the bird at san quentin prison, 1969. contrary to popular belief, he’s never been in prison. i forget why he flipped the bird in this picture, but for whatever reason, this has become a very famous, iconic picture. john’s got a great sense of humor and this was not a serious shot. - jim marshall
- bob dylan with girlfriend suze rotolo on their way to breakfast in new york city, 1963. - jim marshall
- this was 1969, dylan was a guest at the johnny cash tv show. some asshole came up to me and goes, ‘bobby doesn’t want you taking pictures’. i said ‘i don’t give a fuck, i’m not working for bobby and he knows me well enough he could come up and tell me himself’. june happens to walk by and says in her really sweet voice ‘jim, is there a problem?’ the asshole steps in. ‘miss cash, we don’t want him taking any pictures’. she says, ‘son, i’m june carter cash, this is my show and jim is my photographer, he can do whatever he wants’. he walked away and i got my shots. - jim marshall

i don’t believe in an interventionist god
but i know, darling, that you do
but if i did i would kneel down and ask him
not to intervene when it came to you
not to touch a hair on your head
to leave you as you are
and if he felt he had to direct you
then direct you into my arms
into my arms, o lord
into my arms
beautiful song
