Who did The Idiot run into at the opening of the Rock Photography Museum in Los Angeles on Saturday night? What rockers from the 1960s were at The Perfect Exposure Gallery in Alhambra?
The glam crowd included, among others, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Jim Morrison, The Beach Boys, Led Zeppelin, Nina Simone, Johnny Cash, Ray Charles and Sly Stone.
You missed it? Well, The Idiot committed yet another completely unethical act and took pictures of the iconic photographs at the museum just for you.
