The picture on the cover of that album tells, also, the story of the breakup of Faces, one of my favorite bands. Their music makes me happy, and I’ve been listening to it a lot lately.
That story, in any event, is my present understanding, without doing any digging at the moment. My understanding is Ronnie Lane left because he didn’t think he could take Rod leaving the way Steve Marriott did. I suppose bands are a bit like marriages, and breakups a bit like divorces. And certain types of behavior, like releasing solo albums, probably feel to some a bit like cheating.
I will add, politically, that every edited picture, and every picture not taken also tells a story. The story of neglect is the story of who that person is, what they believe, why (emotion, mostly fear, for the people who are my main target here), and where they want the world to go, they think.
