For some background information on the David Bowie mug shot that adorned the DC Record Fair poster for last Sunday’s event, we turned to the Smoking Gun. The image was “snapped in Rochester, New York following the singer’s March 1976 arrest on a felony pot possession charge.”
“Bowie, 29 at the time, was nabbed along with Iggy Pop and two other codefendants at a Rochester hotel following a Saturday concert. Bowie was held in the Monroe County jail for a few hours before being released. The Rochester Police Department mug shot was taken three days after Bowie’s arrest, when the performer appeared at City Court for arraignment.”
Sensing a good theme when it presents itself, we asked our friends Sarah & Samantha to document what the attendees at Fair were making off with all day. The Rogues Gallery follows.
