Happy Birthday @sNAKEsABO of @OfficialSkidRow - September 16, 1964. "My happiness isn’t based on how many zeroes are on my bank account statement; that’s never been the driving force. It’s always been about waking up and having a smile on your face." - #davidsabo #skidrow

Sad to hear about the passing of Cheetah Chrome. I photographed him at Max’s Kansas City in NYC on Feb. 8, 1979. He loved the camera, and I was lucky to catch that smile and smirk. I didn’t know I was capturing rock ’n’ roll history—I was just living it. RIP Cheetah.

Looking across the water toward New York City, I remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001 Monmouth County, NJ where I live, lost 147 members of our community in the World Trade Center tragedy. We will never forget 🇺🇸 #September11 #NeverForget #MonmouthCounty #911Memorial
