Open box of Root Boy Slim "Root" eyeglasses, Warner Theatre, Washington, D.C., March 7, 1978
|
| Description |
Paper eyeglasses in the shape of the word "Root" to be given out to audience members during Root Boy Slim's performance at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C., March 7, 1978. This concert was a going-away celebration for WFHS DJ Josh Brooks. Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band with the Rootettes were a blues-rock band known for their acerbic and absurdist songs and stylized performances that garnered a major local fanbase in the Washington, D.C. area from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. This photograph was taken by Don Hamerman, who was then a staff photographer for Unicorn Times, a monthly performing arts periodical in Washington, D.C.
