For two years I continued. I photographed Deniece Williams. I photographed the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Every picture had its story, didn’t it? For Earth, Wind & Fire truckloads of sand were spread across a sound stage floor. Forty thousand watts of light were used, arcing and firing mysteriously. I pretended I was Field Marshal Rommel. I photographed Phil Everly in about fifteen minutes. I had a manager in Nashville tell me to be sure to include a country singer’s crotch in the photograph. “The women go crazy,” the manager said. Linda Ronstadt said to me, “Don’t shoot. You’ll scare the horse,” seconds before I exposed the cover frame of Hasten Down the Wind. FROM AN AMERICAN STORY
