This is a great story about how Norman Rockwell came to paint the cover of The Live Adventures of Mike Bloomfield & Al Kooper.

Michael and I were sitting in a photo studio at CBS waiting for Norman to photograph us so he could paint our portrait. In he strolled, right on time, and Bloomfield, a closet Rockwell groupie, just gushed all over him. As it turned out, Michael was wearing his brother's coat, found a pill in the pocket, and popped it. It was STP (superacid) and he gooned out all over Norman: "Oh man, you're the best. You should come to San Francisco, man, you would see such sights there to paint. You wouldn't believe it. People in robes in the street, mothers suckling their yoing, I tell you it's just like Jerusalem, Norman, so whaddya think?" Norman, who was listening intently, just puffed on his pipe and was... together. He took our pictures and chatted amiably with Michael, thanked everyone, and then was gone like a cool breeze.
