Every week, we’ll be posting a new illustration by David Lester. The Mecca Normal guitarist is visually documenting people, places and events from his band’s 41-year run, with text by vocalist Jean Smith.
“I’m in a band because I have something to say. I don’t think of this as a privileged position. I’m 33 myself, I’m not living at home with mommy and daddy. This is fuckin’ hard work, it’s tough to pay rent.” —Jean Smith (The Rocket, Seattle). 1993
