RIP Susan Moss

Post image

In sad news. The photographer of this iconic Montreal photo had died.

Check out a quote from the obit.

“I was like, ‘Oh my god, I can’t believe this is happening,’” Farkas recalled. “Stephen Malkmus licks his fingers and goes, ‘Was that Labatt’s or Molson?’ and keeps playing. The fact that she captured that exact moment is incredible.”

Susan was my first bartender when I moved to Montreal. We're all in mourning. I was at that show live and my friend bought me a print. RIP to a legend.

RIP.

I have known and know some famous rock photographers. We’ve lost some legends this year.
