Normal History Vol. 773: The Art Of David Lester

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.

In November, Mecca Normal’s “I Walk Alone” was included on Rolling Stone’s list of top 200 songs from the 1980s. What a thing to consider! A song written about a woman’s right to walk alone has been remembered and commended 40 years after it was written.
