Here’s some pics from June 1968. the meeting area was behind the Panorama city shopping center. Now a 24 hour fitness. We would then cruise together to the Sherman Oaks park parking lot across from Bobs. On this night our club, the Independent Bugs Volkswagen Assn (red jackets) hosted a Van Nuys run and Zuma beach party with the Newport Beach Volkswagen Assn (Blue jackets). We had so many cars that the LAPD blocked off Van Nuys from the parking lot to the west bound 101 onramp in order for us to get out of town. enjoy, Glenn

This image has been floating about everywhere, I wanted to identify and properly credit the actual artist. That’s something people don’t do often enough on Tumblr, something I see as the platform’s biggest flaw. I want to see artists properly credited because at the very least, I want to see more of their work.

Carhartt done so right.

Madonna and friends by Richard Corman
Lower East Side 1982

After meeting Madonna for the first time in her Lower East Side apartment, Richard returned to her building a few days later to shoot her. She said, “You know, we should go up to the roof because I go up there with all the kids from the building.”

She was like the Pied Piper of the neighborhood — they loved her,” Richard recalls. “They followed her, they danced with her, they sang with her. It was something they did on a daily basis, and it was remarkable. We just walked up and they gathered around. She put the boom box on — it was her music, though I don’t remember which song — and they just started dancing and singing.

“She was so alive and unpretentious. She was fierce, determined. Nothing was going to stop her.”
