A nice view of his scar:

I'm not the biggest fan of John Sinclair either and I actually knew the man, but getting ten years for just two joints was bull crap.

and we all know John needed to have been a better father to Julian. If it wasn't things like this, it would have been him staring into space in his own home that kept him from being a father.

Well, there were more important justice causes worth to fight for than for this anarchist convicted for drugs IMHO. Never understood that action from John and no wonder that he became unpopular for the US government.

I think John supporting black panther radicals was way worse then him supporting John Sinclair.

Of course it was !

Nevetheless, I think that it just can't be the role of an "immigrant" artist to protest against deficiencies in the legal-system of the country he's staying in, without even having a green-card. Those actions were rather brisk from John and in retrospective I do understand that the US government didn't appreciate that (although I never liked Nixon).

Yes, it very much is.

He looks a little Lost Weekend-y to me here:

...and he looks so much like Sean in this one:

Woow, those pictures of John as Gripweed are terrific; he's got sort of irresistible smile

It seems that John enjoyed playing his role in that movie, as he looked much more happy and relaxed than on some pictures taken just before in Kenwood.

Thank's for sharing, Maia

He looks here like he just stepped out of a novel by Evelyn Waugh.

Some much commented upon recent photos from Miss Tammy's blog:

Blow this one up to see what people are talking about:


Are those his Penny Lane glasses... in Help?

It's under his chin. He got it when he had the auto accident in Scotland with Yoko, Julian, and Kyoko.

This one is for beatlesgirl14. Though he's not a teenager, he's pretty darn close. (It was supposedly taken January 1963, which would make him 22... a kid in my book. )

Love this one of John and George:

I love pix where you can see how thick or strong John's lenses were:
