The album cover. Bloomfield on left, Kooper on right.Usually, when someone points out that you’ve gotten something wrong in a story, you’re ashamed to admit it. But, in this case, I am excited to notify you of a mistake I made in my article on Norman Rockwell in the November issue of V.F., because it’s a fun one to fix. In an aside near the end of the piece, I mention that, for all of Rockwell’s later-period engagement in such topical subjects as the civil-rights movement, he never really addressed the 60s counterculture in his work. “The closest he ever got to painting a contemporarily long-haired male,” I write, was his inclusion, in an illustration of a fanciful short story in McCall’s, of a circa-1966 Ringo Starr. And, it must be said, Ringo’s hair wasn’t even that long in the mid-60s.
