Psychedelic poster artistes, a limited breed
to begin with, has lost one of it's numbers last week. Alton Kelly along with Stanley Mouse created some of
the more iconic graphics that lasted well in to the
70's...somehow they always
wound up doing the images for lame bands, ie: The Grateful Dead and Journey. Regretfully the art didn't elevate the music. I wonder if the Dead would have lasted as long as they did without the trippy Gothic skeleton? As we all know, the music rarely if ever came to matching greatness. The Dark Star 45 being an exception...
