Dear
Chronicle,
I have to say the Dale Watson pic mimicking Johnny Cash lost its punch with me [“
Off the Record,” Music, July 29]. Why?
He posed using the bent-finger, designer, late-Seventies version of flipping the bird (common when I was in high school), whereas Johnny Cash did the full, hard-grip fist version of flipping the finger.
Dale walks the line … but the pic didn't. I want to see the aggro Fifties-era bird shootin'.
