Amos asked Jason Thompson to write something based on this pic…
I love his writing/style…most of it…
The genius of
gave me this:“In this picture, young Stevie Ray and Jimmie Vaughan are dressed like two men whose dreams of rock and roll stardom were sidelined by the crushing responsibilities of adulthood before they even hit puberty. Jimmie, on the right, looks like he's just found out his mortgage interest rate jumped, and he's already planning how to break it to his accountant. That expression? Pure existential dread, like he’s just realized that “staying for the kids” isn’t working. Meanwhile, Stevie on the left has that smirk of a guy who knows his older brother’s fate is a cautionary tale but hasn’t quite grasped he’s only a few tax brackets away from the same destiny. Their slicked-back hair screams “junior middle managers at the local insurance agency,” and those matching white shirts look suspiciously like they were dressed by someone who only buys clothes that double as Sunday best and funeral wear. It’s a glimpse into an alternate universe where these two became accountants instead of guitar legends.”
Thank you sir…it means alot…
probably the best writer on here…with
