Excuse my cognitive dissonance... I was thinking of the famed photo-journalist, Jim Marshall.

Funny Jim Martin story... I was working the parking lot at Shoreline Amphitheatre for a big package show which had FNM on the bill. Either a Lollapalooza or Live 105 BFD. This was shortly after Jim Martin left the band. At any rate a little Saturn puled in the lot. I leaned it to take the parking money and found Jim Martin in the back seat. I felt bad for him arriving to the show like one of the masses. So I reached in, shook his hand and told him the parking was on me. It was the least I could do.

Many have expressed interest in bands I feature on my YouTube channel. There are videos from The 'Mats, FNM, The Police and more. You can view them here: http://www.youtube.com/user/paxman1965
