So yesterday was Tom Jobim’s (Heavenly) Birthday

Remembering Antonio Carlos Jobim on his birthday 🎂
My favourite Tom Jobim portrait is this one by Otto Stupakoff, taken at Ipanema Beach in 1964.

Heitor Villa-Lobos (his hero) once said to him:
"My son, the outer ear has nothing to do with the inner ear."

Happy birthday Patti Smith 🎂
📷 Annie Leibovitz, New Orleans, 1978

"What knocks me out about Patti Smith is that she just keeps growing, changing, becoming more interesting all the time and adding new arrows to her quiver."
