The Village Voice calls this photo “Cadillac Heaven Lubbock.” But, Terry Allen’s biographer confirms in an interview with @reclinernotes.bsky.social that this photo is “Precious objects are scattered/All over the ground.” It’s staged with a Cadillac Allen traded a drawing with the former title for.

Born on this day in 1943: the great Terry Allen. He's many things: he's one of my favorites artists, musicians, songwriters, and playwrights. Do yourself a favor and take a trip through his work. Pics I took of him and the band and the family @BigEarsFestival in Knoxville:

In "Cortez Sail" (1975) Terry Allen subs in the image of Cortés' brutal conquer of the Aztecs in place of the slaying of a newlywed couple in a travel trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-ZR... In 1992, he created THE PERFECT SHIP, an airstream with a conquistador ship frame around it.
