This snapshot taken by Andy Warhol shows John from February 21, 1978 (the photo's caption will say 1979, but we know better). with a guy named Halston.

Do we know for sure the date was Feb 21st? I know it was for Yoko's birthday party but I have never seen a precise date ever given. Is there any reason why her birthday party wasn't held on her actual birthday (18th)?
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I think that date comes from Badman's book...so it might not be accurate.
DeleteAha!! Very interesting!!!
DeleteJohn Winn, I once asked him about Badman, and he didn't have alot to recommend about his books (which I, admittedly, use!).
And now, here it is, YOU are inferring something similar! Am I to ignore Badman's books? Or just take them with a grain o' salt?!!!!
Tell me, O Wise One!!!!
IIRC, this is dated to 2/21/1978 from an entry in andy's diary

ReplyDeleteJust note: I do not approve of the word "fag." With a few exceptions, I try not to censor the comments here, because I believe people should have freedom of speech. I am leaving this comment because I think anonymous has a good point about Andy W. setting up the photo and this guy just trying to get attention by sticking his tongue out at John.
DeleteI hope leaving this comment does not offend anyone.
