Growing up on Long Island, Bob Gruen’s parents wanted him to work 9-5.  And for much of his life, he did.  9PM-5AM.   He’s spent 60 years documenting rock ‘n roll through photographs.  Bob wasn’t photographing the scene.  He was part of the scene, earning the trust of musicians, hanging out with them, touring with them, befriending them and photographing them in human, unscripted moments: Ike and Tina Turner, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, The Sex Pistols, The Clash.  And his good friends, John and Yoko.  His pictures of John at the Statue of Liberty and wearing the New York City shirt are iconic, seen around the world.
