Hey folks!

First pic: Six young Black men shot from the ground looking up, so they appear to be standing over you. They are arranged in a circle. One of them is pointing a gun at the camera. They all look a little disappointed, like you fucked up and now they have to kill you. Also, please note there is no period after "A" in N.W.A Second pic: A photo of Tom Petty, a skinny white guy with a long narrow face, playing a guitar. He has an odd look on his face; he may be biting his lip? The photo is tinted rainbow style, going from red at the top to yellow (which covers most of Petty's body), to blue at the bottom.
