Dec 24 1865

Rock musician Johnny Ace plays a little .45 calibre solitaire (Russian Roulette) at City Auditorium in Houston after a concert. Blammo. He thought it would impress his girlfriend, perhaps it did.

Edit: Btw, anybody who hasn't heard Johnny Ace should pick up his Memorial Album (I think that's the only one he made before killing himself). It contains some of the best music ever made.
