| Description |
Fans wearing "Root" glasses during a Root Boy Slim concert at the Warner Theatre in Washington, D.C., March 7, 1978. This was a farewell concert for WFHS DJ Joshua Brooks. Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band featuring backup singers the Rootettes were a blues-rock band known for their acerbic and absurdist comedic songs and glam-inflected 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. The photograph originally appeared in the photoessay "Shots" by Hamerman published in the April 1978 issue of the Unicorn Times
