Deborah Chesher hat für den neuen Bildband "Everybody I Shot Is Dead" ihre Sammlung von alten Negativen durchgewühlt. Auf 208 Seiten zeigt die kanadische Fotografin Raritäten von 48 toten Rockgrößen, darunter Ron Aspery (Back Door), Peter Bardens (Camel), Marc Bolan (T-Rex), John Bonham (Led Zeppelin), Tim Buckley, Papa John Creach (Jefferson Starship), John Denver, Tom Evans (Badfinger), Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead), Lowell George (Little Feat), Maurice Gibb (Bee Gees), Mike Gibbins (Badfinger), George Harrison, John Lee Hooker, Waylon Jennings, Terry Kath (Chicago), Rick Nelson, Carl und Dennis Wilson (The Beach Boys), Peter Wood (Al Stewart, Pink Floyd) und Frank Zappa. "Es geht wirklich nicht um tote Leute, sondern darum, wie fantastisch diese Musiker waren", sagte Chesher, "das Thema ist Wiederauferstehung. Ich erwecke sie wieder zum Leben mit Bildern, die noch nie zuvor zu sehen waren und die zu einem Zeitpunkt gemacht wurden, zu dem sie alle extrem lebendig und produktiv waren."

Being that my knowledge of German vocabulary is limited to bratwurst, Oktoberfest and eins, zwei, drei, I had Google translate the page to English for me. This is what Mr. Google came up with:

Deborah Chesher has for the new illustrated book "Everybody I Shot Is Dead" their collection of old negatives ransacked. At 208 pages shows the Canadian photographer rarities of 48 dead rock sizes, including Ron Aspery (Back Door), Peter Bardens (Camel), Marc Bolan (T-Rex), John Bonham (Led Zeppelin), Tim Buckley, Papa John Creach (Jefferson Starship), John Denver, Tom Evans (Badfinger), Jerry Garcia (Grateful Dead), Lowell George (Little Feat), Maurice Gibb (Bee Gees), Mike Gibbins (Badfinger), George Harrison, John Lee Hooker, Waylon Jennings, Terry Kath (Chicago), Rick Nelson, Carl and Dennis Wilson (The Beach Boys), Peter Wood (Al Stewart, Pink Floyd) and Frank Zappa. "It is really not about dead people, but about how these musicians were fantastic," said Chesher, "is the theme of resurrection. Awaken them, I come back to life with images that have never before been seen and done at a time, to which they all extremely lively and productive."

Finally someone in the media has quoted me with complete accuracy.

Is that not the BEST QUOTE EVER?

Thank you, Stuttgarter Zeitung!

I shall spend the rest of the day with a huge grin on my face, basking in my ability to articulate.

I hope you all enjoy your Sunday as much as I am enjoying mine.
