EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to November 1965, where the iconic Viv Prince, the drummer of The "Pretty Things" is captured in a moment that reflects both his serious demeanor and undeniable style. At just 24 years old, Prince exudes an air of confidence as he stands tall in his fashionable sheepskin coat. The image tells a story beyond its visual appeal. It harks back to a time when rock 'n' roll rebellion was at its peak, and musicians like Prince challenged societal norms with their music and fashion choices. However, it also sheds light on the struggles they faced within establishments that were not always accepting of their unconventional lifestyles. Here we see Prince standing outside a hotel after being refused service at the bar—a poignant reminder of the discrimination faced by artists who dared to defy conventions. Despite this setback, his expression remains stoic and determined; an embodiment of resilience against adversity. This photograph encapsulates an era defined by groundbreaking music and cultural shifts while offering us a glimpse into one man's journey through fame and resistance. As we admire this timeless image capturing Viv Prince's essence as both musician and rebel, it serves as a testament to those who paved the way for future generations in entertainment history.
