“Before Jimi Hendrix introduced himself to the world as the greatest guitarist in music history, Hendrix enlisted with the 101st Airborne Division as an alternative to serving prison time for riding in stolen cars. Discharged in May of 1962 for “behavioral problems”, Hendrix was reportedly caught masturbating in platoon areas and required excessive supervision. These photographs curated by Stephen O’Connor provide a rare look at Jimi Hendrix during his time in the service.”Source for the text @: http://www.complex.com/art-design/2012/06/rare-photos-of-jimi-hendrix-in-the-army

Johnny Marr photographed by Paul Slattery backstage at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, Valentine’s Day, 1984.
For me this picture is like a Pop music icon, showing Johnny Marr, guitar hero and ex Smiths one of the very best Pop band ever (my favorite one) …that’s why I spent some times to retouch, tune, reframe and change the toning on it (click on the photo above to see the original one)
