Dale Walks the Line; the Picture Didn't

RECEIVED Fri., July 29, 2011

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'.
Best regards,
Elaine Witkowski
