Actually the font on the poster does not seem to be exactly comic sans. In fact the lines of the letters are more narrow than in comic sans, and in some places they do not have equal width (for example, vertical and horizontal lines in “A”). The difference is very subtle, and, probably, it is just a noisy and distorted copy of a comic sans. Yet this poster looks very suspicious.

I was at that concert, wearin’ my Thin Lizzy mirror pin. We had worked on Sawyer’s sauna that afternoon. Zimmerman did some filming on 16 mm – I don’t know whether he shot at the concert or not. I remember the feeling of the scene. It was interesting.

Historical documentation, with hysterical vibes underscoring what’s real and what’s made up, what really happened and what happened in pursuit of legend, it’s like noblsavaj says:

“What causes tragedy? What causes fortune? What does it matter?”

Aaron,

As an interested contributor to the Christies auction coming up in June, I was more than impressed by your execellent article regarding the ‘forged’ flyer. Very informative and well versed.

Regards

Paul
