He must've thought he might find some Heroin up on those rocks. Not exactly an outdoorsy type wouldn't you say?

It looks like he's wearing Sanuks on his feet.

Velvet pants and fuzzy slippers are always the perfect bouldering attire. He rocks it.

What's that square thing in the middle?
Beyond that, nice rings.

What a great shot.
I wonder how long he kept that rock from falling over.

This made my day (OK, it's easy to make my day...). The Steve Tyler story is hilarious.

I think someone told Keith that JT had some good "crack" in those rock formations (though that photo probably pre-dates common use of the term "crack").

Could be a whole new sub-variation for climbing: bouldering in fluffy bunny slippers!

Wasn't Altamont in '70?

If Steve Tyler is so ugly and can still have a daughter as beautiful as Liv maybe we don't need to castrate weld-it.








































Nah! Better be safe.

Let's just hope he boulders better than he tree climbs:

Your forgetting something, Liv has a gorgeous mother that she takes after.
Thank goodness for mothers.

I shot these photos in the mid-'90s, 15 years ago yesterday in fact, at Levon Helm's house in Woodstock. This video was made a decade and a half after the fact - I wish they would have used real prints to put this together, as it is it looks like they just scanned my contact sheets... Anyhoo, a fun time was had by all...

That's Keith Richards, obviously, and Levon Helm and The Band, Scotty Moore and DJ Fontana from Elvis Presley's original band, Paul Burlison from the Johnny Burnette Trio, Marshall Crenshaw, Stan Lynch from Tom Petty's band... and if you look close, Keith Richards father, before Keith sniffed him up his nose....

A gem of an image, Chris. Who would'a thought?

The other image, of Steven Tyler's daughter Liv, reminded me that I once (almost literally) bumped into her on the street in Princeville, Kauai, a couple of years ago. She had a toddler in tow and was as lovely in real life as any elf I'd seen on the silver screen.
