EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this iconic print from Memory Lane Prints is the legendary John Entwistle, the masterful bass guitarist of British rock group The Who, showcasing a fascinating and unexpected side to his persona. Here we see him proudly posing with his unconventional pet companion, Doris the tarantula, at his London home on November 6th, 1981. In an era defined by boundary-pushing music and rebellious attitudes, Entwistle's affinity for keeping a pet tarantula perfectly encapsulates his unique character. Known for pushing musical boundaries himself through intricate bass lines that became synonymous with The Who's sound, it seems fitting that he would also embrace such an enigmatic creature as part of his personal life. This snapshot not only offers a glimpse into Entwistle's private world but also highlights the intriguing bond between man and spider. It speaks volumes about the artist's willingness to challenge societal norms and embrace individuality in all its forms. As we delve into this image from the 1980s music scene, we are reminded of how artists like John Entwistle pushed artistic boundaries both on stage and off. This photograph serves as a testament to their unwavering dedication to self-expression while shedding light on one musician's extraordinary connection with an unlikely companion.
