Speaking of flying lounges, here’s William Eggleston’s beautiful ode to in-flight beverage service:
Eggleston’s red ceiling photograph was used by Big Star for the cover of their Radio City album.
Given that Eggleston and Big Star were both from Memphis and both broke through around ’73/’74, it’s little wonder that Big Star basically sounds just like how Eggleston’s photos look. Still, I can’t think of another example of musician and visual artist who remind me so clearly of one another.
More Eggleston here.
