Annie Leibovitz
What a wonderful show last night on PBS. The life and career of photographer Annie Leibovitz was movingly portrayed in an American Masters feature.
Being a passionate Rolling Stones fan, I was partial to the segment where she met and covered the band on tour, even succumbing to some decadence in their wake. The background track was the live version of "Midnight Rambler" from "Get Your Ya-Ya's Out". Her photos were a thrilling visual accompaniment.
Even though I was taping the show, I could not stop watching the whole 90 minutes. Just when I am ready to ditch TV and cable, something like this comes along. It was magnificent.
