Jim Morrison Photograph donated to Rational Animal
A signed print of a photograph by James Fortune of Jim Morrison taken in the back of a limo in 1967 was recently donated to an organization in New York City called Rational Animal. This group has been very active in spaying and neutering campaigns over the years, and well-known acts such as the Beastie Boys have joined their cause to help our furry friends. It will be auctioned off sometime in the future, according Susan Brandt, who oversees the auctions and many other duties for Rational Animal.
Good Times, Bad Times—James Fortune
The British version of “Good Times, Bad Times” features both front and back cover photographs by James Fortune. The front cover is an action shot of the band in their prime, and the back cover really shows a lot of detail closeup, as the band sits there smiling and relaxing. Here is the American cover, and I’ll posting the British cover soon.

About the book
Good Times, Bad Times: Led Zeppelin captures the public and private lives of rock gods Led Zeppelin through rare and iconic photographs. More than any other band, they embodied the rock-star lifestyle of sex, drugs, and rock and roll and came to define the music and culture of the 1970s. Forty years after the release of their first album in 1969, Led Zeppelin—Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham— continues to fascinate and inspire legions of fans, young and old alike.
A general overview of the band’s history will introduce the core of the book: a gallery of more than 200 photographs, laid out in chronological order, more than half of which have never been published. Whether onstage, backstage, recording in the studio, on tour, or at home—the band is shown as never before. From their very first performance in Denmark on September 7, 1968 (as the new Yardbirds) to their last performance in London in 2007, this collection of images will remind die-hard fans why the group became, and remains, one of the greatest and most notorious bands in the history of rock and roll.
