Footnotes

Provenance:
Jim Callaghan was Head of Security for all The Rolling Stones tours from 1973-2003. He was Mick Jagger's main security guard, and was in charge of who could stand on the side of the stage to watch the band during their shows. At one concert during the 1978 Rolling Stones 'Some Girls Tour' Jim Callaghan met Andy Warhol who was accompanied by Truman Capote. Warhol asked a writer who was on the tour called Catherine Guinness if he and Capote could watch from the stage. Callaghan declined their request, but then later agreed after Warhol and Guinness offered to gift him a sketch by Warhol. The next day, Guinness went to The Factory and returned with this drawing for him.
