Pic Surfaces of Oswald Playing Ruby's Club

I have no idea as to the origin of this photo, but it’s one of the funniest Photoshop jobs in both music and political history…makes for good filler.

“We got to this place, a joint, in Fort Worth, Texas. It was burned out, bombed out. The roof wasn’t even on the place any more. And that’s when they decided to call it the Skyline Lounge. And we got there and set up and…a big place, huge. Bar, way at the back and a big dance floor. So we set up the first night.”

“We go down to the place to play. We go in and, in this huge place, there’s about three people in the audience: a one-armed go-go dancer and a couple of drunk waiters. A couple here, a couple there. Somebody fires a tear gas… And a fight starts. There isn’t enough people in the place to get angry. And we found out a few years later that it was Jack Ruby‘s club.” –Robbie Robertson, 1976

1:30 PM Update: As it turns out, the origin of this altered image is based more on the participants’ facial expressions and body contortions and less on the fact that Jack Ruby owned a club The Band once played. I like that part better, which makes much more sense. Thanks to my friend and mentor HP Anything for the info…
