We have some old school Talenthouse artist-on-artist love to share. In 1969, Pete Townshend of The Who piled praise for The Kinks and their new album onto a sheet of Holiday Inn stationary.

Actual poster from the mid-50s issued by Senator Joseph McCarthy at the height of the Red Scare and anti communist witch hunt in Washington.  All artists were suspect.

Park Benches - Love is Everywhere [Couple flirting on a fire escape], 1946, by Stanley Kubrick. More can be seen at the Museum of the City of New York. He took an astonishing number of perfect photographs.
