"This is a chord. This is another. This is a third. Now form a band."

    "There's an illustration from a fanzine called Sideburn #1, which
    was a drawing made by Tony Moon just to fill the space. It's a
    drawing of three guitar chords and it says, 'now form a band'.
    That fanzine is extremely rare, but the drawing is often quoted
    by lots of musicians as the impetus to do something, and it's
    seen as a key message of punk," says Toby. "You didn't need to
    have been to music school or be particularly proficient or
    skilled. It was much more about the energy and drive to do
    something. It's a rallying call to the troops."

Nice to know the story behind a drawing that always puzzled me: Why
are the markings on the frets and not in between them? And what songs
can you play with A-E-G? 

(Turns out, you can play AC/DC's "TNT" and T-Rex's "Bang A Gong.")

    sketches, and phrases and their translations, along with ticket
    stubs, symposium programs, and photographs of interviewees. Here
    he shows a notebook with his sketches of puppets, and a postcard,
    from the Frida Kahlo Museum in Mexico city.
